Summary

This research assesses removal of mandibular third molars by the lingual split technique with using Walter's lingual retractor for retracting lingual flap, and evaluates the lingual nerve injury that may result after applying this technique. The research sample included 20 patients and their age under 25 years where the grain is clear. The lingual nerve is assessed by sensory neurological tests on a graphic map that divides the tongue into sextants.

PROCEDURE

Lingual nerve function assessed after removal of mandibular third molar with lingual split technique

The lingual split technique is based on using chisel and hammer in bone removing. After the buccal and lingual flaps are raised and retracted. Two buccal bone cutting with horizontal cutting up between them are performed, The disto-lingual bone fragment is fractured inward by placing the cutting edge of the chisel at 45 degrees with the surface of the bone and directed towards the lower second premolar of the opposite side. By maintaining the cutting edge of the chisel parallel to the external oblique ridge, a few light taps with the mallet will separate the lingual plate from the rest of the alveolar bone. And it released from soft tissues, buccally force is applied to roll the whole tooth lingually. The neurological function of the lingual nerve was assessed after the demise of local anesthesia, then the location of the disorder and taste function and healing time are determined by sensory neurological tests on a graphic map that divides the tongue into sextants.
