TLDR
It is concluded that the observed wide variation in the reported incidence of IAN injury is due to a lack of standardized assessment procedures and reporting, and an international consensus meeting is needed in order to establish a standard-of-care method.About:

Current Concepts in Orthognathic Surgery.
TL;DR: The goals of orthognathic surgery are outlined, highlighting advances in the field and current controversies, and soft-tissue considerations are highlighted, especially in the context of osseous genioplasty and fat grafting to the face.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications associated with orthognathic surgery.
TL;DR: While most patients undergo orthognathic surgery for aesthetic purposes, aesthetic improvements are most often followed by postoperative functional complications, therefore, patients must carefully decide whether their purpose of undergoing orthognATHic surgery lies on the aesthetic side or the functional side.

Risk factors for common complications associated with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy: A literature review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The most common complications that are associated with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy are: bad splits, postoperative infection, removal of osteosynthesis material, and neurosensory disturbances of the lower lip.

Piezoelectric versus conventional techniques for orthognathic surgery: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Luís Eduardo Charles Pagotto,Thiago de Santana Santos,Sara Juliana de Abreu de Vasconcellos,Joanes Silva Santos,Paulo Ricardo Saquete Martins-Filho +4 more
TL;DR: Current available evidence suggests that piezo-surgery has favorable effects on complications associated with orthognathic surgery, including reductions in intraoperative blood loss and severe nerve disturbance.

TL;DR: It is shown that the average statistical power of studies in the neurosciences is very low, and the consequences include overestimates of effect size and low reproducibility of results.

A Classification of Nerve Injuries
TL;DR: In 1863, during the fiercest days of the American Civil War, Dr. A. W. Hammond, Surgeon-General to the Federal Armies, ordered the establishment of a unit for the observation and treatment of injuiries of the nervous system, and a signal result was the appearance in 1864 of a little book by Weir Mitchell, Morehouse, and Keen, Gunshot Wounds and Other Injuries of Nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferior alveolar nerve function after mandibular osteotomies
TL;DR: The incidences of neurosensory disturbance after mandibular osteotomies in this report correspond well with those previously reported, but the incidence of almost 40% after sagittal split ramus osteotomy must be considered a disquieting drawback of the procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophysiologic and quantitative sensory testing in the diagnosis of trigeminal neuropathy and neuropathic pain.
TL;DR: Neurophysiologic tests and thermal QST provide sensitive tools for accurate diagnosis of trigeminal neuropathy and study of pathophysiological features characteristic to human neuropathic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of clinical and electrophysiologic tests in nerve injury diagnosis after mandibular sagittal split osteotomy.
TL;DR: The yield of clinical sensory tests and electrophysiologic tests in the diagnostics of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) damage after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy was studied and the touch detection threshold (TD) test was the most sensitive and clinically useful test.
