Neurosensory Deficit of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Following Mandibular Orthognathic Surgery.

September 25, 2022 updated by: Ra'ed Salma, Riyadh Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy

Neurosensory Deficit of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Following Mandibular Orthognathic Surgery. A Prospective Longitudinal Clinical Trial.

This clinical study investigates the sensation deficit in the lower lip and chin area after surgical correction of lower jaw deformity.

The primary null hypothesis is: Lower jaw osteotomy cause no sensory deficit in the inferior alveolar nerve.

The secondary null hypothesis is: Concurrent genioplasty with sagittal split does not increase the risk of sensory deficit in the inferior alveolar nerve.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Light touch sensation first week
Time Frame: One week after the surgery

Light touch sensation will be measured using cotton wisp applied to the chin and lower lip area divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left.

The cotton wisp will be in touch with skin in the four quadrants and will be moved in four directions for each quadrant.

The score will be recorded as 0 = No response to stimuli, 1= serious perception loss, 2 = hardly perceive sensation, 3 = perceive touch sensation at a lower degree than preoperative, and 4 = normal sensation.

One week after the surgery
Light touch sensation first month
Time Frame: One month after the surgery

Light touch sensation will be measured using cotton wisp applied to the chin and lower lip area divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left.

The cotton wisp will be in touch with skin in the four quadrants and will be moved in four directions for each quadrant.

The score will be recorded as 0 = No response to stimuli, 1= serious perception loss, 2 = hardly perceive sensation, 3 = perceive touch sensation at a lower degree than preoperative, and 4 = normal sensation.

One month after the surgery
Light touch sensation three months
Time Frame: Three months after the surgery

Light touch sensation will be measured using cotton wisp applied to the chin and lower lip area divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left.

The cotton wisp will be in touch with skin in the four quadrants and will be moved in four directions for each quadrant.

The score will be recorded as 0 = No response to stimuli, 1= serious perception loss, 2 = hardly perceive sensation, 3 = perceive touch sensation at a lower degree than preoperative, and 4 = normal sensation.

Three months after the surgery
Pinprick sensation first week
Time Frame: One week after the surgery
A tip of sharp dental explorer will be used to measure the pinprick sensation applied to the chin and lower lip area divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left. The measurement will be recorded as a positive or negative response
One week after the surgery
Pinprick sensation first month
Time Frame: One month after the surgery

Three months after the surgery
Static two points discrimination first week
Time Frame: One week after the surgery

A Vernier caliper will be used to measure static two-point discrimination applied to the chin and lower lip area divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left. Instrument spikes of the caliper will be set open on different separation distances.

The score will be recorded as 0 = more than 15 mm, 1 = 10-15 mm, 2 = 9-10 mm, 3 = 7-9 mm, 4 = 6-7 mm, 5 = equal or less than 5 mm.

Three months after the surgery
Warm/cold test first week
Time Frame: One week after the surgery

The measure will be preformed using test tube filled with hot water at temperature 45-50 degrees Celsius, and an ice cube applied to the chin and lower lip area divided into four quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left.

The measurement will be recorded as a positive or negative response.
