The authors reviewed 12 cases in which altered sensation occurred in the distribution of the inferior alveolar or lingual nerves following injection of a local anesthetic for restorative treatment only. Most patients suffered only partial damage, but recovery was poor. The exact mechanism of the nerve damage is unknown, but a number of theories are proposed. The extent of this problem is also unknown, but many more cases probably exist than have been reported to date.
作者回顾了12例仅在注射局部麻醉剂进行修复治疗后，下牙槽神经或舌神经分布区域出现感觉改变的病例。大多数患者仅遭受部分损伤，但恢复情况不佳。神经损伤的确切机制尚不清楚，但提出了一些理论。这个问题的严重程度也不清楚，但可能存在比迄今报道的更多的病例。
