ABSTRACT

Purpose: To study the dynamics of changes in the electrophysiological parameters of II and III branches of trigeminal nerve in patients after surgeries on tumors and tumor-like lesions of jaws; to define

rehabilitation therapy depending on the severity of the nerve damage.

 

Material and Methods: Investigation and treatment of neurological complications in 179 patients after surgeries of removal for tumors and tumor-like lesions of the upper and lower jaws, on a hardware-software complex “DIN-1.”

 

Results: The values of the electrophysiological parameters of conductivity, resistance and tone of the trigeminal nerve branches in patients after surgeries on tumors and tumor-like lesions of jaws can be diagnostic criteria for the severity of the sensitive nerves damage in the surgical wound.

 

Conclusion: Our data can be used as an objective prognostic test in oral and maxillofacial surgery for determination the severity of neurogenic damage to soft and bone tissues innervated by the trigeminal nerve.
