Abstract

Orthognathic surgery is a procedure of choice for the treatment of skeletal deformities; however, it is common to observe a change in sensitivity called paresthesia, in cases where the nerves are injured. For the patient's sensitivity to return, it is necessary to perform treatments such as the use of low-power laser, acupuncture and drug treatment. This work sought to identify these treatments and describe them, in order to guide the clinical management of dental surgeons.
