Paresthesia diagnosed using cone-beam computedtomography: a case report

Various dental procedures, such as injection administration, surgical treatment, and endodontic treatment, cancause injury to the nerves. The most commonly injured nerves are the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves.This can manifest as altered sensation to the area of innervation of the injured nerve, such as the lower lip,chin, teeth, tongue, and mucosa. Altered sensations or loss of sensation are relatively infrequent complicationsin daily dental practice. Here, we report an uncommon case of altered sensation in the midfacial region causedby an endodontic procedure and discuss the need to consider local dental causes in the differential diagnosisof numbness in the facial region.
