A remoção cirúrgica de terceiros molares inferiores impactados cujas raízes dentárias estão próximas ao canal do nervo alveolar inferior (NAI) representa um procedimento alto risco para o desenvolvimento lesão nesta estrutura anatômica. NAI é uma complicação rara, muitas vezes grave e que pode ocorrer como consequência da extração inferiores. sua incidência viável 0,5% a 8%, mas aumentar 20 50%...

Background and Aim: The Gow-Gates (GG) block and the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) can be used interchangeably for anesthetizing mandibular molars. The aim of this study was to compare these two injections in root canal therapy of mandibular molars with regard to heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (BOS) changes. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients between the ages of 18-70 y...

The anatomy of the intrabony course of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is very important for dentists, neurologist, radiologists and pathologists to aid in diagnosis, treatment, planning surgery, and the application of local anesthesia (Polland et al., 2001). IAN damage negatively affects the quality of facial sensibility and the patient’s ability to translate patterns of altered nerve activi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE On cross-sectional and panoramic reformatted images from axial (dental) CT scans of the mandible it may be difficult to identify the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle (IANB) in patients lacking a clear-cut bony delimitation of the mandibular canal. Dental MR images are comparable to dental CT scans, which directly show the IANB; however, measurements of length may no...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of present article was to review aetiological factors, mechanism, clinical symptoms, and diagnostic methods as well as to create treatment guidelines for the management of inferior alveolar nerve injury during dental implant placement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature was selected through a search of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane electronic databases. The keywords used for...

Introduction: Surgical removal of the mandibular third molar has its own set complications. The impacted teeth are in proximity to Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN), Buccal Nerve, and Lingual (LN). Therefore, each these nerves is always at risk injury during extraction. Objectives: This study was evaluate anatomical factors nerve after surgical extraction molars patients visiting department oral ma...
