INTRODUCTION The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve, with a long course in the inferior extremity. Its division into the tibial and common peroneal nerves can occur at any level from the sacral plexus to the inferior part of the popliteal space. These anatomical variations may contribute to clinical conditions such as piriformis syndrome, sciatica and coccygodynia. METHODS This study was perf...

Pain is a common distressing symptom in dental practice. Depending upon the cases, different techniques are used to relieve pain. One of these is peripheral trigeminal nerve block. Peripheral trigeminal nerve block anaesthesia has proved to be an effective and convenient way to anaesthetise large regions of oral and maxillofacial complex. This block can be intraoral or extra oral. The intraoral...

Unnamed foramina are known to be present in the mandible. The present research paper reports the presence of an accessory foramen on the medial surface of the mandible, highlighting its anatomico-radiological details. Accessory foramina in the mandible have been known to transmit branches of nerves supplying the roots of the teeth. Nerve block techniques by local anaesthetics might fail if any ...

Background and aims. One of the most common reasons forthe inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia failure is the variation in mandibular foramen location. The aim of this study was to assess the location of mandibular foramen in children with mandibular retrognathism in comparison to children with normal skeletal occlusion in the mixed dentition. Materials and methods. One hundred and twenty ...

introduction lidocaine plus epinephrine is the most common anesthetic drug used in dentistry which has important cardiovascular side-effects like increase in blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia. the goal of this study was to evaluat cardiovascular effects of one cartridge of 2% lidocaine + 1:80000 epinephrine. methods and materials 60 cases without any systemic diseases who had been admitted ...

The mandibular nerve is the largest branch of trigeminal nerve. It innervates teeth, gums, skin temporal region, ear, lower lip, part face, muscles mastication, and mucous membrane anterior 2/3 tongue. main pharyngeal arch. sensory motor fibers in originate from two roots: root, which originates semilunar ganglion, nucleus. has a mixture nerves functions. Face, cheeks temples, oral cavity, teet...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to produce some observational evidence of the success rate of inferior alveolar nerve block (IDB) analgesia that is achieved in general dental practice. The objective was to help provide some measure of expected failure rates and help dental practitioners in their self-appraisal of this crucial basic skill. METHOD Up to 100 consecutive IDB analges...
