FAILURE OF INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE BLOCK

Session

Dental Sciences

Description

The characteristic of contemporary dental interventions is that all interventions must be performed without pain. In order to achieve pain control, it is also necessary to achieve adequate and successful local anesthesia. In this way, in addition to the patient having an obvious benefit, this also helps the operator as the treatment can be carried out calmly and without haste, therefore a possible failure of local anesthesia can reflect on both sides. The achievement of local anesthesia in the maxilla has been reported to be higher, this as a result of the porous bone allowing the diffusion of the anesthetic close to the apex of the root, while in the mandible anesthesia is achieved by depositing the anesthetic solution close to the nerve fiber before it enters in the mandible. Inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia is used relatively frequently for mandibular dental procedures, and failures can occur even when administered by an experienced clinician.

In this paper, a review of the literature has been made for the implication of factors that can influence the failure of anesthesia for the inferior alveolar nerve, as well as ways to overcome these factors. Different techniques have their advantages and disadvantages, so the clinician must select the most appropriate technique for a given case.
