While none of these procedures can, regrettably, "fix" the patient, the goal is to manage the patient's symptoms as best as possible, enhance function, and give them time to adjust to these terrible events—which is frequently not very satisfying. The purpose of this dissertation was to identify and discuss some important concerns with iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury and to offer some important takeaways, such as: • The most common symptoms of iatrogenic sensory nerve injury are neuropathic pain, altered feeling, and numbness.

This affects the patient significantly and in an unpleasant way (better your consent!). • Most iatrogenic nerve damage are preventable.

• In terms of implants and endodontic dentistry, inferior alveolar nerve injuries are irreversible and "unfixable" if not promptly addressed within 30 hours. • Pre-operative methods for reducing this risk of nerve damage need to be carefully explored because of the significant issues that follow nerve injury.

Enhancing pre-operative planning, surgical technique, and post-operative care is necessary to reduce and eventually eliminate these injuries. .
