Objective: Trigeminal nerve injury is an uncommon complication of outpatient oral surgery and dental procedures such as removal impacted teeth, placement endosseous implants, even injection local anesthesia. In the field maxillofacial surgery, two most commonly injured branches trigeminal are inferior alveolar lingual nerves. Fortunately, injuries will undergo spontaneous recovery, with only a ...

Chronic pelvic pain is a common problem with variable etiology. The sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the transmission of visceral pain regardless of its etiology. Sympathetic nerve block is effective and safe for treatment of pelvic visceral pain. One of them, the inferior hypogastric plexus, is not easily assessable to blockade by local anesthetics and neurolytic agents. I...

ABSTRACT Aims The inferior alveolar nerve block provides sensory blockade of the body of the mandible and its associated structures. Two approaches, the intraoral and extraoral techniques, can be used. We hypothesized that the intraoral approach would result in a more accurate placement of solution at the inferior alveolar nerve. Methods Five canine cadavers (10-15 kg) were used. A random numbe...

a 39-year-old iranian female patient who was a known case of primary cervical dystonia since 10 years ago presented to a private office for dysport injection. the patients experienced severe dysphagia after inferior alveolar nerve block which was preceded by cervical botolinum toxin injection. a possible synergistic effect of botolinum toxin and lidocaine to produce severe dysphagia is presente...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inferior alveolar nerve block injection is one of the common intra oral anesthetic techniques, with a failure rate of 15-20%. The aim of this study was to evaluate the position of the lingula as an index for this injection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty eight panoramic radiographs of 7-11 year old patients were analyzed and the distance between the lingula index and occlusa...

This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effects of audiovisual distraction using virtual reality glasses during inferior alveolar nerve block in pediatric dental patients. randomly included 20 participants aged 4 11 years from a dentistry clinic receive anesthesia with or without VR glasses. Behavioral assessments were conducted Frankl scale, FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Conso...
