Resumen
TAFOYA, Ulises et al. Pre-operatory and post operatory pulpar response to osteotomies. Rev. Odont. Mex [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.4, pp.168-174. ISSN 1870-199X. https://doi.org/10.22201/fo.1870199xp.2007.11.4.15715.
The orthognathic surgery is a routine procedure used for the correction of dentofacial disarmonies with the aim to correct the bone discrepancies, as well as to achieve function and facial aesthetics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pulpal pre and postoperative response in young patients subjected to Orthognathic surgery at Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez. Thermal sensibility measurements were done to 189 healthy teeth in 14 patients using carbon dioxide sticks, at different periods of time (one and two months after surgery) to establish the period of recovery of dental sensibility. Q Cochran and X2 tests were done to know this periods. The results showed that the teeth presented a temporary paresthesia due to the surgical procedure. This disappeared in 53.9% cases in a month and in 83.7% of the cases at two months.
