치과 수술 후 뉴로미터를 이용한 전류인지역치의 변화의 분석

Abstract

The goal of this study is to contribute to the clinical application of dental surgery by making a quantitative nerveexamination using a Neurometer for the evaluation of sensory disturbances that could be incurred after dental surgery, Measurement of current perception thresholds (CPT) at each different frequencies(2000 Hz, 250 Hz, and 5 Hz) were performed to trigeminal nerve main branch(mandibular division) of 29 patients with dental surgery on mandibular area and 25 normal subjects. There were significant differences in CPTs between patient group and control group.(p<0.05) But, there were no significant between patient male and female in both patient and control group except 2000 Hz was significantly high in the control female. Evaluation of CPTs can be a valuable tool for detection of numbness on orofacial region after dental surgery.
