This is a result of the angle fracture. Being an oral and Maxillofacial surgeon I see it quite often. The Canal gets damaged resulting in injury the nerve inside. This numbness would have been before the operation too. Rest show me your opg both pre op and post op for better understanding. As of now start with neurobion Forte once a day for 30 days with a hope that the sensation returns.
