The effect of nasal septum surgery on anterior maxillary teeth sensation – a prospective study

Nasal septal surgery is associated with a low incidence of transient sensory disturbances in the anterior maxillary teeth, with full recovery typically occurring within one to three months. These findings suggest that careful surgical technique can minimize nerve injury and that the risk of permanent sensory loss is low. Additional research with larger patient cohorts is needed to validate these findings and identify possible risk factors, thus improving patient counseling and surgical techniques.
