Evaluation of Electrophysiological and Histopathological Effects of Hydroxyapatite and Glass Ionomer Bone Cement on Facial Nerve: An Animal Study
This study underscores the need for caution when using bone cement near neural structures. Although HAC and GIC did not impair facial nerve function, their histopathological effects highlight the importance of avoiding direct neural contact. Future research should explore improved surgical techniques and neurotoxin-sparing alternatives.
