Abstract
Damage to the lingual nerve during third molar removal results in marked changes to the fascicular pattern and sometimes the presence of chronic inflammation in the injured nerve. These changes could contribute to the altered electrophysiological properties of axons trapped within traumatic neuromas, but we found no significant differences between the specimens studied from patients with or without symptoms of dysesthesia.
