“What is the Incidence of Paresthesia after Mandible Fractures of Different Patterns?”

Angle Fractures: These fractures often involve the inferior alveolar nerve, leading to higher rates of paresthesia. Incidence rates can be as high as 60-80% immediately post-injury but may decrease over time with proper management and healing. 2. Body Fractures: These fractures also have a significant incidence of paresthesia due to the involvement of the inferior alveolar nerve. Incidence rates for paresthesia in body fractures range from 40-60%. 3. Symphysis and Parasymphysis Fractures: These types of fractures generally have lower incidence rates of paresthesia compared to angle and body fractures, often ranging from 10-20%. However, the exact rates can vary depending on the extent and specific location of the fracture. 4. Condylar Fractures: These fractures typically have the lowest incidence of paresthesia since they are farther from the inferior alveolar nerve. Incidence rates are generally less than 10%. 5. Coronoid Fractures: These are rare and usually do not involve significant nerve injury, so the incidence of paresthesia is minimal. References: 1. Ellis, E. III, & Schubert, W. (n.d.).
