Whenever endodontic therapy is performed on mandibular posterior teeth, damage to the inferior alveolar nerve or any of its branches is possible. Acute periapical infection in mandibular posterior teeth may also sometimes disturb the normal functioning of the inferior alveolar nerve. The most common clinical manifestation of these insults is the paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve or men...

background: the effect of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (ii-ih) nerve block on postoperative pain is well documented when performed before caesarean section (cs) but the efficacy remains unclear when performed after the surgical procedure. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ii-ih nerve block on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients when performed after c...

Anaesthesia of structures innervated by the mandibular nerve is necessary to provide adequate pain control when performing dental and localised surgical procedures. To date, numerous techniques have been described and, although many of these methods are not used routinely, there are some situations where their application may be indicated. Patient factors as well as anatomical variability of th...

The aim of this study was to observe the relationship between the anesthetic block sucess (ABS) of mandibular nerve, by injecting 1.8 ml of lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:100,000, in children and their body mass index (BMI). A prospective cohort study was designed. A sample of 93 6-13 years children attended in JUNAEB Dental Module of Frutillar between April and July 2011. We recorded age, gen...

background and aims . dentists administer thousands of local anesthetic injections every day. injection to a highly vascular area such as pterygomandibular space during an inferior alveolar nerve block has a high risk of intravascular needle entrance. accidental intravascular injection of local anesthetic agent with vasoconstrictor may result in cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicit...

OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term skeletal and dental effects of two-phase orthodontic treatment including either a Twin-block or an XBow appliance. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective clinical trial of 50 consecutive Class II cases treated in a private practice with either a Twin-block (25) or XBow (25) appliance followed by full fixed orthodontic treatment. To factor out growth...

The ramus of mandible presents on its medial surface a little above its centre an irregular foramen called the mandibular foramen. This foramen is guarded by a thin sharp tongue shaped projection in its proximity called the lingula. This foramen transmits the inferior alveolar nerve and the corresponding artery to the mandibular canal (Grays) [1]. Here in , the nerve supplies the pulps of all t...

Back Ground : Mandible being largest and strongest bone of skull, having various morphological features may show changes with reference to age, sex and race. It Very important bone to find out sex of body remains in anthropological practice. Methods: In present study 100 mandibles were collected different medical colleges in Karnataka. We have assessed the shape of coronoid process and Lingula ...

awake intubation is the choice for airway management in anticipated difficult airway (da), which means establishing airway without induction of deep sedation; however, in cases where sedation is precarious, decision in emergency situations, success in awake intubation is dependent on proper regional airway block. a 21 year old man with bilateral temporo-mandibular ankyolosis and a 25 years old ...
