Abstract

Interosseus anterior nerve paralysis also known, as the Kiloh-Nevin Sydrome, is a an uncommon health condition: however it should be taken into account in Dentistry because it affects the hand ?s intrinsic muscles which are responsible for intricate finger movements and fine motor control. The flexion movement of the index finger and thumb finger is extremely important in Dentistry in order to be able to hold and manipulate dental instruments for dental treatments.
