After splitting the mandible, the IAN was seen in the proximal fragment in 472 sites and needed dissection. The nerve was transected and neurorrhaphy was carried out in 26 sites. A Chi-square test was used to analyse the qualitative variables. The IAN was not visible post-osteotomy in 140 sites and in the distal fragment in 1080 sites. These groups had decreased incidence of NSD. The NSD was significantly higher in cases where the nerve was transected and sutured,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      value &lt;0.001 as
