“…Steroid is effective in healing of an early nerve injury because it reduces cytotoxic edema and improves nerve cell survival. Because of these same reasons, steroid is widely used and effective not only in nerve injuries but also in hypoesthesia 20. Steroids play a significant role in the anti-inflammatory action to subside the swelling.…”

Hypoesthesia after an inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block does not commonly occur, but some cases are reported. The causes of hypoesthesia include a needle injury or toxicity of local anesthetic agents, and the incidence itself can cause stress to both dentists and patients. This case presents a hypoesthesia on mental nerve area followed by IAN block anesthesia with 2% lidocaine. Prescription of steroids for a week was performed and periodic follow up was done. After 1 wk, the symptoms got much better and after 4 mon, hypoesthesia completely disappeared. During this healing period, only early steroid medication was prescribed. In most cases, hypoesthesia is resolved within 6 mon, but being aware of etiology and the treatment options of hypoesthesia is important. Because the hypoesthesia caused by IAN block anesthesia is a mild to moderate nerve injury, early detection of symptom and prescription of steroids could be helpful for improvement of the hypoesthesia.

“…11 The use of adrenocortical steroids is helpful in minimizing nerve impairment if used within 1 week after the occurrence of the nerve damage, 17 and can inhibit the expansion of the damaged area and the formation of neuroma. 18 Particularly, dexamethasone is recommended because of its stronger anti-inflammatory effect. 19 The use of corticosteroids in combination with NSAIDs is highly effective for sensory damage caused by inflammation.…”
