Simultaneous Paresthesia of the Lingual Nerve and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Caused by a Radicular Cyst

Dentigerous Cyst Associated with a Formocresol Pulpotomized Deciduous Molar

“…Among the complications, secondary local infections, such as osteitis and osteomielitis, disturb the inferior alveolar nerve and/or lingual nerve (22), although remote infections such as mediastinitis (23) are possible. These circumstances, together with the possibility of ameloblastic transformation, support the surgical decision adopted in this case.…”

Inferior alveolar nerve function recovers after decompression of large mandibular cystic lesions

“…Patients with dentigerous cysts may present inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia (Aziz et al , ; Sumer et al , ), which may be associated with the decreased biological activity of tooth nerves or inferior alveolar nerves caused by high pressure in the dentigerous cysts (Morse, ), or the chemical corrosion of the nervous tissues by the inflammatory factors or the liquids in the cysts (Hamada et al , ). Further, ischemia and degeneration of pulp tissues may be induced by the compression of cystic cavity to the peripheral tissues of the root tip, which resulted in root resorption, decreased pulp vitality, and even pulpal necrosis.…”

Huge Dentigerous Cyst in the Mandible Treated under Local Anesthesia

“…It is usually related with serious illnesses, such as malignancies or neurological diseases. 6 In radiographic examination, dentigerous cysts apper as well-defined, round, corticated, lucent lesions around the crowns of impacted tooths, usually third molars. 1 In the mandible, the associated radiolucency may extend superiorly from the third molar site into the ramus or anteriorly and inferiorly along the body of the mandible.…”
