The lingual infiltration is performed in the reflected mucosa in the apical region of the tooth of interest !!! The onset of anaesthesia may take longer than a maxillary buccal infiltration. It may be 8 to 10 minutes Dr. Mohammed UoS, 2023-2024 before pulpal anaesthesia is of sufficient depth to allow pain-free Amjed, operative procedures on the tooth. - 6 Regional block methods in the mandible - Most dental treatment on the adult dentition that requires anaesthesia is performed using regional block methods. - As is the case with the maxilla, there are extra oral approaches to the mandibular nerve.

Two excellent alternatives to bilateral IANBs are bilateral incisive nerve blocks (where lingual soft tissue anesthesia is not necessary) and unilateral inferior alveolar blocks on the side that has the greater number of teeth requiring restoration or that requires the greater degree of lingual intervention, combined with an incisive nerve block on the opposite side. sin ftp.ationscaktangjefonffifciin Dr. Mohammed Amjed, UoS, 2023-2024 f siaE iffi t.sn fI la a.intitiimiiifiIiiiffjififkgffffjff fi iiiii 9 Inferior Alveolar And Lingual Nerve Block - The success rate of the inferior alveolar nerve block is considerably lower than that of most other nerve blocks. - Difficulty with the traditional Halsted approach (IANB) is the absence of consistent intraoral landmarks. Failure rates for the IANB are commonly high, ranging from 31% and 41% in mandibular second and first molars to 42%, 38%, and 46% in second and first premolars and canines, respectively, and 81% in lateral incisors. Due to central core theory Dr. Mohammed Amjed, UoS, 2023-2024 Why? 10 When we give IAN block this nerve is bers located at the cneter “core” supplying anterior is taking a longer timefor LA to penetertate into the center. On the periphery of IA nerve they have mantle bers for posteriors so LA reach mantle faster that’s why lower 7 and 6’s get anesthetized faster anetshtisa than incisors Inferior Alveolar And Lingual Nerve Block requites them Periphery requires why lower 7 6 gets less anesthesia more anesthesia than 485 as you go anteriorly it getsreduced - The central core theory best explains this problem. Nerves on the outside of the nerve bundle supply the molar teeth, while nerves on the Ephy inside (core fibers) supply incisor teeth. Therefore, the local anesthetic solution deposited near the IAN may diffuse and block the outermost fibers but not those located more centrally, leading to incomplete mandibular anesthesia.

When lingual nerve anaesthesia is definitely required a modification to the technique is added. Following injection at the original site the needle is withdrawn halfway through nerve mucosa, aspiration performed, and solution deposited at atlingual this point. The injection continues as the needle is completely withdrawn, stopping just as the needle exits mucosa to prevent local anesthetic spilling into the mouth.

Dental local anesthetic needles are not rigid structures and may be deflected during advancement through tissues. Thus, the needle may not reach the intended target area. 4. Accessory nerve supply.
