Sclerotic changes in alveolar bone after IAN injury.

CT, X-ray and photographic images from patients of a post-extraction tooth cavity. (A) A thirty-five-year-old woman reported dysesthesia for a long period after the tooth extraction. Sclerotic changes were observed in the periphery of the alveolar bone (arrows). (B) A 46-year-old woman experienced dysesthesia, which increased in relation to the deformity of the mandibular canal. In both of these patients, the masses of traumatic neuroma located in the nerve lesion were detected later by surgical observation.
