Does morphometric analysis of the inferior alveolar nerve fail to demonstrate sexual dimorphism?
We assumed that the sex difference in the incidence of IAN damage was not affected by the morphometric findings. Our findings might partly explain why there is no significant sex difference in the incidence of IAN damage.
Multivariate analysis of patients undergoing TSA or HA in the NSQIP database suggests that patient factors-not the procedure being performed-are significant predictors of major complications. Controlling for patient comorbidities, we found no increased risk of perioperative major complications in patients undergoing TSA compared with HA.
