The neurosensory test was conducted with a 20-mm long monofilament of suture material Prolene (3-0) connected to a plastic holder. These tests were performed 1\u00a0day before surgery and every 2\u00a0weeks during first 2\u00a0months after surgery. After that, patients were tested once every month until the end of the first year.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n All patients had a disturbance of light-touch sensation after BSSO, but none of these changes was permanent. The average duration of hypoesthesia was 6.6 \u00b1 1.2 with a range from 4 to 9\u00a0months. The average duration of hypoesthesia for women was 6.27 \u00b1 1.0\u00a0months, and men had hypoesthesia for 7.1 \u00b1 1.2 months on average. This difference was statistically significant. The two oldest female patients, who were 33 and 37\u00a0years old at the time of the surgery, experienced altered sensitivity for only 4\u00a0months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n After BSSO, all patients experienced disturbed light-touch sensation in the innervated area of the lower alveolar nerve. A faster recovery in the oldest patients and a statistically significant difference between the sexes should be interpreted with caution.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2319\/020312-98.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,12]],"date-time":"2012-04-12T14:07:52Z","timestamp":1334239672000},"page":"1029-1032","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Altered light-touch sensation after bilateral sagittal-split osteotomy"],"prefix":"10.2319","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Davor","family":"Joki\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthodontist, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Dubrava, Zagrab, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dra\u017een","family":"Joki\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD student, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vedran","family":"Ugle\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Department Chair, School of Dental Medicine, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Predrag","family":"Kne\u017eevi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, School of Dental Medicine, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Darko","family":"Macan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1164","reference":[{"key":"i0003-3219-82-6-1029-b01","series-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg","first-page":"1598","article-title":"Sensitivity of the inferior lip and chin following mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy using Piezosurgery.","volume":"118","author":"Geha, H.
