Percentage of 186 patients whose two-point perception, two-point discrimination, and contact detection thresholds obtained on the chin after a mandibular osteotomy approximated the presurgical value (between ½ and 2 times the presurgical threshold indicated in yellow); exceeded the presurgical threshold value (more than 2 times higher indicated in green); or were below the presurgical threshold (at least ½ the presurgical threshold indicated in blue). Note that the time course of recovery differed for the three measures of somatosensory function, with less recovery observed for contact detection than either two-point perception or discrimination.
