| Popis: | The lingual nerve is at risk of injury during common dental procedures because of its proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and the roots of the third molar tooth. Lingual nerve injury has been documented following extraction of wisdom teeth, dental anesthetic injections, and other endodontic procedures. We present a case of loss of somatosensory function and taste associated with the intriguing finding of fungiform papillae atrophy as a result of lingual nerve injury. |
