Treatment modalities and risk factors associated with refractory neurosensory disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve following oral surgery: a multicentre retrospective study

Little research has been conducted into hypoesthesia, and no studies have elucidated the risk factors for refractory hypoesthesia and compared treatment modalities. The purpose of this multicentre retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationships between various risk factors, treatment modalities, and refractory hypoesthesia. Risk factors for refractory hypoesthesia after oral surgery were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analysis. To minimize the selection bias associated with a retrospective data analysis, a propensity score analysis was performed between the medication and non-medication groups (65 sites in each group).
