Inferior dental anaesthesia via the direct intraoral approach, mandibular conduction anaesthesia via extraoral landmarks(Gow-Gates) and mandibular conduction anaesthesia via the tuberosity approach( Akinosi) were evaluated using pain during injection, aspiration test, pinprick, depth and frequency of anaesthesia, onset and duration of anaesthesia. 120 patients of both sexes, aged from 16 years ...

Comparative measurements were made of 144 orthopantomographs in 50 patients with successful and 94 patients with unsuccessful inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia. The results show that the bony lingula is prominent in 28.5% of all patients, or in 56.0% of those with unsuccessful anesthesia. The variables mandibular notch vs. mandibular foramen (MN-MF) and the anterior ramus ridge vs. mandi...

A total of 455 children (242 males and 213 females) aged 5-6 years were investigated for their pain reactions to maxillary and mandibular infiltration anesthesia, middle superior alveolar nerve block, posterior superior alveolar nerve block, greater palatine nerve block, nasopalatine nerve block, and inferior alveolar nerve block, and the responses were quantified using the sound, eye and motor...

Surveys were sent to Harvard School of Dental Medicine students and graduates from the classes of 2000 through 2006 to determine their current primary means of achieving mandibular anesthesia. Orthodontists and orthodontic residents were excluded. All subjects received clinical training in the conventional inferior alveolar nerve block and two alternative techniques (the Akinosi mandibular bloc...

Fifty-four injection injuries in 52 patients were caused by mandibular block analgesia affecting the lingual nerve (n=42) and/or the inferior alveolar nerve (n=12). All patients were examined with a standardized test of neurosensory functions. The perception of the following stimuli was assessed: feather light touch, pinprick, sharp/dull discrimination, warm, cold, point location, brush stroke ...

Background: The mandibular canal is an intrabone sheltering the inferior alveolar nerve, and foramen serves as a site for performing nerve block. Their positions vary according to populations ages. Objectives: Determine through scan study position of its in melanoderma living Benin. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive analytical was conducted over two years based on exploitation 60 digital fi...

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...

Local anaesthesia makes the patient and dentist comfortable to do treatment with least amount of discomfort, but dental patient’s most frequent fear is receiving local anaesthetic injections. The present study attempted evaluate compare perception pain, pressure discomfort induced by three types injections (Infiltration, mental nerve block inferior alveolar injection) for mandibular anaesthesia...

background and aims. postoperative pain control is extremely important for both patients and surgeons; in this context, long-acting local anesthesia can play an important role after open reduction of maxillofacial fractures. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of bilateral mental nerve block with bupivacaine on postoperative pain control in mandibular symphyseal fractures. mate...

Introduction: Over the years different techniques have been developed for achieving mandibular nerve anaesthesia. The main aim of our study was to carry out comparison and clinical efficacy of mandibular nerve anaesthesia by Direct Conventional technique with that of Vazirani-Akinosi mandibular nerve block technique. Materials and Methods: 50 adult patients requiring surgical extraction of prem...
