ABSTRACT
Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury is a common complication in oral and maxillofacial surgery, often resulting in sensory deficits such as paresthesia, hypoesthesia, and dysesthesia. The management and regeneration of the IAN following trauma or surgical injury present significant challenges. Advances in nerve regeneration techniques, including autologous grafting, alloplastic conduits, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapies, and pharmacological agents, have shown promising results in clinical and preclinical studies. This comprehensive review explores the current literature on IAN regeneration, providing insights into the mechanisms, techniques, and future directions for improving patient outcomes.
