Injury to the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves may occur during removal of third molar teeth. An understanding of the possible mechanisms leading to nerve injury should reduce this occurrence. Careful assessment and documentation should follow a nerve injury, and early specialist referral considered. Although spontaneous recovery of low-grade nerve injuries is common, microneurosurgical techniques offer hope for more serious injuries.
拔除第三磨牙时可能会损伤下牙槽神经和舌神经。了解导致神经损伤的可能机制应能减少此类情况的发生。神经损伤后应进行仔细评估和记录，并考虑尽早转诊给专科医生。虽然轻度神经损伤的自发恢复很常见，但显微神经外科技术为更严重的损伤带来了希望。
