Mandibular Anesthesia Lower success rate than Maxillary anesthesia - approx. 80-85 % Related to bone density Less access to nerve trunks
Mandibular Nerve Blocks Inferior alveolar Mental - Incisive Buccal Lingual Gow-Gates Akinosi
Mandibular Anesthesia Most commonly performed technique Has highest failure rate (15-20%) Success depends on depositing solution within 1 mm of nerve trunk
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Not a complete mandibular nerve block. Requires supplemental buccal nerve block May require infiltration of incisors or mesial root of first molar
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Nerves anesthetized Inferior Alveolar Mental Incisive Lingual
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Areas Anesthetized Mandibular teeth to midline Body of mandible, inferior ramus Buccal mucosa anterior to mental foramen Anterior 2/3 tongue & floor of mouth Lingual soft tissue and periosteum
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Indications Multiple mandibular teeth Buccal anterior soft tissue Lingual anesthesia
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Contraindications Infection/inflammation at injection site Patients at risk for self injury (eg. children)
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block 10%-15% positive aspiration
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Alternatives Mental nerve block Incisive nerve block Anterior infiltration
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Alternatives (cont.) Periodontal ligament injection (PDL) Gow-Gates Akinosi Intraseptal
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Technique Apply topical Area of insertion: medial ramus, mid-coronoid notch, level with occlusal plane (1 cm above), 3/4 posterior from coronoid notch to pterygomandibular raphe advance to bone (20-25 mm)
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Target Area Inferior alveolar nerve, near mandibular foramen Landmarks Coronoid notch Pterygomandibular raphe Occlusal plane of mandibular posteriors
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Precautions Do not inject if bone not contacted Avoid forceful bone contact
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Failure of Anesthesia Injection too low Injection too anterior Accessory innervation -Mylohyoid nerve -contralateral Incisive nerve innervation
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Complications Hematoma Trismus Facial paralysis
