Onset of action and duration efficacy inferior alveolar nerve block versus single lingual subperi-osteal injection 4% articaine in mandibular second molars: A randomized clinical trial

Inferior alveolar nerve block obtained maximum anesthetic effect using a small dose of local anesthetic agent, which also has low a complication incidence. Complications of an inferior alveolar nerve block include direct nerve damage, bleeding, trismus, temporary facial nerve palsy, and etc. Among them, the major iatrogenic complication is dental needle fracture. A fragment that disappears into...

There are reports on hypoesthesia and anesthesia in taste sensation persisting for several months or even years after dental anesthesia, pulpectomy and tooth extraction. Taste disorders following dental treatments are usually attributed to peripheral injury of taste (the chorda tympani) nerve fibers running with the lingual nerve fibers near the mandibular molars. 2 However, taste impairment in...

PURPOSE The arrangement of the structures within the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle has not been clearly defined. Because this could be of importance in surgery involving the inferior alveolar canal, a study was undertaken. MATERIALS AND METHODS The inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle was dissected from 8 cadaveric mandibles and examined for the arrangement of the inferior alveolar...

Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using threedimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgic...

background and objectives: split sagittal osteotomy is a common operation that may induce inferior alveolar nerve (ian) damage, potentially leading to sensory deficit, numbness, and pain. investigations in iran to evaluate the adverse effects of sagittal split osteotomy surgery are rare so questions have been raised about the success rate of operation and the frequency of unwilling outcome. to ...

Injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve following trauma resulting in a mandibular fracture are well documented and are a well-known risk when surgical procedures are planned for the mandible in the region of the inferior alveolar canal. Such injuries are relatively rare following endodontic therapy. This article reports a case of combined thermal and pressure injury to the inferior alveolar ne...

Placement of endosseous implants and inferior alveolar nerve transposition is a treatment option for patients with an edentulous posterior mandible with inadequate bone height superior to the inferior alveolar canal. Complications associated with these procedures include infection, prolonged neurosensory disturbances, and/or pathologic fracture. This report presents the surgical management of a...
