Abstract

Aim: The preset systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate neurosensory outcomes following permanent lingual nerve injury in the surgical removal of mandibular third molars.

Method: The international databases Cochrane, Embase, and MEDLINE (PubMed and Ovid) were searched for pertinent keywords until January 2025. Eight studies were included, and their risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Using a random effect model and limited maximum-likelihood techniques of 95 percent confidence intervals (CI), prevalence rates were employed as an effect size. Stata (version 17) was used for meta-analysis.

Result: The prevalence rate of somatosensory following lingual nerve injury after surgical removal of mandibular third molars was 5.58% (ES 5.58% 95% CI; 2.55%, 8.61%). The frequency of pain and gustatory was 36.78% and 3.52%, respectively.

Conclusion: According to the present meta-analysis, the incidence rate of neurosensory outcomes is high after the surgical removal of mandibular third molars and following permanent lingual nerve injury.

下颌第三磨牙手术切除后永久性舌神经损伤的神经感觉结果：一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：系统回顾和荟萃分析旨在评估下颌第三磨牙手术中永久性舌神经损伤后的神经感觉结果。方法：检索国际数据库Cochrane、Embase和MEDLINE (PubMed和Ovid)，检索相关关键词至2025年1月。纳入了8项研究，并使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表评估其偏倚风险。采用随机效应模型和95%置信区间（CI）的有限最大似然技术，采用患病率作为效应大小。采用Stata （version 17）进行meta分析。结果：下颌第三磨牙拔除术后舌神经损伤的躯体感觉患病率为5.58% (ES 5.58%, 95% CI；2.55%、8.61%)。疼痛和味觉的频率分别为36.78%和3.52%。结论：根据本荟萃分析，下颌第三磨牙手术切除和永久性舌神经损伤后神经感觉预后的发生率较高。
