Inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia caused by periapical infection: A case report
The aim of this paper was to describe a case of inferior alveolar nerve infection-induced paresthesia and to discuss the most appropriate diagnostic tools. Although radiographically, the periapical lesion didn’t appear to be in close vicinity to the mandibular nerve canal, the persistence of the symptomatology led to the suspicion of an inferior alveolar nerve compression. A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan showed an impressive lesion with great bone destruction, in direct contact with the inferior alveolar nerve, compressing it. Besides a complete medical history, a CBCT scan may be crucial to identify the cause of the paresthesia, supporting the clinical exam and preventing an irreversible nerve injury.
