Laser therapy on points of acupuncture on nerve repair

Paresthesia is the name given to a temporary or permanent sensory loss caused by several surgical procedures that affected the peripheral sensory nerve. In dentistry, common iatrogenic procedures that can lead to sensory loss include third molar removal, blocking of the inferior alveolar nerve (local anesthesia), orthognathic surgery, implant placement, surgical removal of cysts or tumors and facial trauma.
