Advance in Functional Restoration of Injured Nerve with Low Level Laser and its Utilization in the Dental and Maxillofacial Region
The inferior alveolar nerve and facial nerve are the two most important nerves in the dental and maxillofacial region.The injury to them is one of the major postoperative complications after alveolar surgery and orthognathic surgery.However,recovering the nerve function after injury takes a long time and the recovery effect tends to be unsatisfactory.In recent years,an intensively investigated technique,low level laser which has been applying in assisting the recovery of nerve function,has been gradually proved to be effective in clinically treating postoperative nerve injury.In this article we review in terms of the mechanisms involved in low level laser-assisted functional restoration of nerve injury and its clinical application in the recovery of nerve function in the dental and maxillofacial area as well.
