Aims: This study has three aims: (1) To determine the anatomical course and potential variations that may contribute to lingual nerve injury, (2) Assess the effectiveness of the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting bur injury with reference to optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, and (3) Compare the amount of damage of the lingual nerve caused by using two different surgical burs. Materials and Methods: This cadaveric research involved the study of 14 hemi-mandibles for: (a) obtaining morphometrical measurements of the lingual nerve position to three landmarks on the alveolar ridge, and (b) determining the number of terminal branches inserting in the ventral surface of the tongue. In the subsequent part of the study, twelve lingual nerves were exposed to injury using two ...
