What Is a Mandibular Block?

Inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve block are suitable for: 1. Treatment of neuralgia or cancer pain in the area of the mandibular nerve or lingual nerve distribution. 2. This innervated area is anesthetized with teeth and soft tissues in the mouth. 3. Herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia at this site.

Inferior alveolar and lingual nerve blocks

Right!

Inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve block are suitable for: 1. Treatment of neuralgia or cancer pain in the area of the mandibular nerve or lingual nerve distribution. 2. This innervated area is anesthetized with teeth and soft tissues in the mouth. 3. Herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia at this site.

Inferior alveolar and lingual nerve blocks

1. Infection at the injection site.

2. Patients cannot cooperate.

3. Those who have a tendency to severe bleeding.

1. The patient lies on his back and the position in front of the eyes, so that the patient can open his mouth as wide as possible.

2. Body surface positioning: The operator first uses his left hand to show the entrance cavity to determine the leading edge of the ascending branch of the mandible, which is higher than the last molar of the mandible.

1. The lower alveolar nerve and lingual nerve block can be operated with the same technique.

2. After routine disinfection, use a 10cm long, 7-gauge local anesthesia needle, and pierce the needle slightly between the medial side of the mandibular branch and the oral mucosa at the site touched by the index finger.

3. When the needle tip touches the inner wall of the mandible, continue to inject the needle about 2 ~ 3cm along the inner side of the mandibular branch, suck back without blood, and inject local anesthetic or painkiller 5 ~ 6ml.

4 If the patient does not have any sensation in the front part of the teeth and tongue, he can also inject 3 ~ 5ml of the above medicine while retracting the needle.

5. The nerve location stimulator can be used to determine the target nerve location.

1. Nerve injury and submucosal hematoma at the puncture site.

2. Apply dry cotton ball for 3 ~ 5min after injection.

3. After injection of nerve damage drugs, some patients felt the tongue base and face slightly numb.
