Objectives: To compute the frequency and pattern of infraorbital nerve deterioration (Anesthesia, Paresthesia, Dysesthesia and Hypoesthesia) presenting with zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures presented to Hayatabad Medical Complex.
Methods and materials: The study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, MTI-HMC, Peshawar, and lasted six months, from June 4, 2018 to December 4, 2019. A thorough medical history, clinical examination, and neurosensory tests such as static two-point distinction, brush stroke directional test, contact detection, pin prick nociception, and thermal
discrimination tests were all performed, along with the necessary radiographs such as occipitomental view, submentovertex view, and computed tomography scans.
Results: Out of total 126 patients, 42(33.33%) patients were recorded with infraorbital nerve dysfunction in 3 age groups, 30 patients were in 15-30 year age group, 60 patients were in age group 31-45 year age and 36 patients were in 46-65 year of age , out of which 7 patients were from female gender.
Conclusion: Every patient with a ZMC fracture should be clinically assessed on the dot for infraorbital nerve dysfunction, which can cause unpleasant feelings on the face, upper lip, lateral skin of the nose, anterior gingiva, and lower eyelid.
