To expound upon the concern listed above, IAN nerve damage, mandibular paresthesia or dysesthesia may result which may or may not resolve on its own. Additionally, the lingual nerve may be damaged causing complete or partial paresthesia of the tongue.

as the inflammatory responses proceed, epithelium forms under the scab as well. Eventually the wounds edges meet again and the scab is shed. Under the surface, macrophages remove neutrophils and the remaining clot. Then, capillaries grow from the blood vessels around the wound and vascularize that area. All of this is part of fibrosis, in which the clot is…
