Connector-Assisted Repair of Transected Inferior Alveolar and Lingual Nerves using Photochemical Tissue Bonding: An Ex Vivo Pilot Study

Key Points

• Connector-assisted repair successfully reunites transected inferior alveolar and lingual nerves, promoting healing.
• Key evidence shows a significant increase in restoration efficiency, with visual assessments confirming structural integrity post-repair.
• Experimental analysis using photochemical tissue bonding method on ex vivo nerve models to evaluate repair efficacy.
• This approach highlights potential for advancing nerve repair strategies, suggesting further investigations in clinical settings.
