PurposeThe nerve sliding technique (NST) was introduced for repairing inferior alveolar (IAN) defect and overcoming the disadvantages of conventional surgical treatment methods such as graft. This study conducted to identify factors associated with functional sensory recovery (FSR) following repair using NST.Patients MethodsThis a retrospective cohort including all patients who underwent IAN NS...

INTRODUCTION Previous studies have reported high levels of success with intraseptal injection for various dental procedures but provide limited information on the use of the injection during endodontic treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective study was to determine the anesthetic efficacy of the supplemental intraseptal technique in mandibular posterior teeth diagnosed with symptom...

ABSTRACT Aims The inferior alveolar nerve block provides sensory blockade of the body of the mandible and its associated structures. Two approaches, the intraoral and extraoral techniques, can be used. We hypothesized that the intraoral approach would result in a more accurate placement of solution at the inferior alveolar nerve. Methods Five canine cadavers (10-15 kg) were used. A random numbe...

BACKGROUND The inferior alveolar nerve courses anteriorly within the mandibular canal, providing sensory nerve supply to the mandibular teeth, the buccal mucosa, the gingiva, and the soft tissues of the lower lip and chin. To avoid damage to this nerve and resulting sensory disturbances, its exact location must be known before placement of a dental implant. Imaging modalities currently used to ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Dentists administer thousands of local anesthetic injections every day. Injection to a highly vascular area such as pterygomandibular space during an inferior alveolar nerve block has a high risk of intravascular needle entrance. Accidental intravascular injection of local anesthetic agent with vasoconstrictor may result in cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicity,...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article is to systematically review diagnostic procedures and risk factors associated with inferior alveolar nerve injury following implant placement, to identify the time interval between inferior alveolar nerve injury and its diagnosis after surgical dental implant placement and compare between outcomes of early and delayed diagnosis and treatment given based on...

Successful osseointegration of the dental implants requires sufficient bone volume surrounding implant site. The mandibular ramus is considered reliable donor site for reconstructing alveolar ridge defects prior to dental implant placement. The aim of this study was to present the clinical efficiency of using ultrasound surgery for harvesting mandibular ramus bone graft. 20 patients (10 male, 1...

BACKGROUND To determine the effects of inferior alveolar nerve transection (IAN-X) on masticatory movements in freely moving rats and to test if microglial cells in the trigeminal principal sensory nucleus (prV) or motor nucleus (motV) may be involved in modulation of mastication, the effects of microglial cell inhibitor minocycline (MC) on masticatory jaw movements, microglia (Iba1) immunohist...

ABSTRACT Repeated sagittal split osteotomy might impose an increased risk for damage of the inferior alveolar nerve. Another contemporary orthognathic issue is surgical management malocclusion following condylar resorption. Here we describe a modified C-osteotomy technique as proposed solution these difficulties in surgery. The induce less stress on condyles reducing relapse subsequent to resor...
