  • Palatal Injection Does Not Block the Superior Alveolar Nerve Trunks: Correcting an Error Regarding the Innervation of the Maxillary Teeth
    Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.2120 Palatal Injection does not Block the Superior Alveolar Nerve Trunks: Correcting an Error Regarding the Innervation of the Maxillary Teeth Joe Iwanaga 1 , R. Shane Tubbs 2 1. Seattle Science Foundation 2. Neurosurgery, Seattle Science Foundation Corresponding author: Joe Iwanaga, [email protected] Abstract The superior alveolar nerves course lateral to the maxillary sinus and the greater palatine nerve travels through the hard palate. This difficult three-dimensional anatomy has led some dentists and oral surgeons to a critical misunderstanding in developing the anterior and middle superior alveolar (AMSA) nerve block and the palatal approach anterior superior alveolar (P-ASA) nerve block. In this review, the anatomy of the posterior, middle and anterior superior alveolar nerves, greater palatine nerve, and nasopalatine nerve are revisited in order to clarify the anatomy of these blocks so that the perpetuated anatomical misunderstanding is rectified. We conclude that the AMSA and P-ASA nerve blockades, as currently described, are not based on accurate anatomy. Categories: Anesthesiology, Medical Education, Other Keywords: anatomy, innervation, local anesthesia, maxillary nerve, nerve block, tooth Introduction And Background Anesthetic blockade of the posterior superior alveolar (PSA) branch of the maxillary nerve has played an important role in the endodontic treatment of irreversible acute pulpitis of the upper molar teeth except for the mesiobuccal root of the first molar tooth [1, 2]. This procedure requires precise anatomical knowledge of the pterygopalatine fossa and related structures in order to avoid unnecessary complications and to make the blockade most effective. The infraorbital nerve gives rise to middle superior alveolar (MSA) and anterior superior alveolar (ASA) branches.

  • The Influence of Mandibular Skeletal Characteristics on Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Anesthesia

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between IANB failure and mandibular skeletal characteristics Methods: In total, 693 cases of lower third molar extraction (n = 575 patients) were examined in this study. The ratio of the condylar and coronoid distances from the mandibular foramen (condyle-coronoid ratio [CC ratio]) was calculated, and the mandibular skeleton was then classified as normal, retrognathic, or prognathic. The correlation between IANB failure and sex, treatment side, and the CC ratio was assessed. Results: The IANB failure rates for normal, retrognathic, and prognathic mandibles were 7.3%, 14.5%, and 9.5%, respectively, and the failure rate was highest among those with a CC ratio < 0.8 (severe retrognathic mandible). The failure rate was significantly higher in the retrognathic group than in normal group (P = 0.019), and there was no statistically significant difference between the other two groups. Conclusions: IANB failure could be attributable, in part, to the skeletal characteristics of the mandible.

Communication Between the Mylohyoid and Lingual Nerves: Clinical Implications Comunicación entre los Nervios Milohioideo y Lingual: Implicancias Clínicas *Valéria Paula Sassoli Fazan; **Omar Andrade Rodrigues Filho & ***Fernando Matamala FAZAN, V. P. S.; RODRIGUES FILHO, O. A. & MATAMALA, F. Communication between the mylohyoid and lingual nerves: Clinical implications. Int. J. Morphol., 25(3):561-564, 2007. SUMMARY: The mylohyoid muscle plays an important role in chewing, swallowing, respiration and phonation, being the mylohyoid nerve also closely related to these important functions. It has been postulated that the mylohyoid nerve might have a role in the sensory innervation of the chin and the lower incisor teeth while the role of the mylohyoid nerve in the mandibular posterior tooth sensation is still a controversial issue. Although variations in the course of the mylohyoid nerve in relation to the mandible are frequently found on the dissecting room, they have not been satisfactorily described in the anatomical or surgical literature. It is well known that variations on the branching pattern of the mandibular nerve frequently account for the failure to obtain adequate local anesthesia in routine oral and dental procedures and also for the unexpected injury to branches of the nerves during surgery. Also, anatomical variations might be responsible for unexpected and unexplained symptoms after a certain surgical procedure. We describe the presence of a communicating branch between the mylohyoid and lingual nerves in an adult male cadaver, and discuss its clinical/surgical implications as well as its possible role on the sensory innervation of the tongue.

Preoperative opioids have concerns like sedation, Department of Anesthesiology, AVBRH, DMIMS (DU), Sawangi Meghe, respiratory depression and airway compromise. Greater palatine nerve block with Wardha- 442001, Maharashtra, India. bupivacaine is safe and effective without the risk of respiratory depression. The study E-mail: [email protected] was done to compare pain relief postoperatively with intravenous fentanyl and greater palatine nerve block in children following palatoplasty. DOI: 10.14260/jemds/2020/549 METHODS How to Cite This Article: 80 children of ASA I & II, between 1 to 7 years were included and allocated into two Singam A, Rallabhandi S, Dhumey T. Comparison of greater palatine nerve block groups of 40 each. Analgesic medication was given preoperatively after induction of with intravenous fentanyl for postoperative general anaesthesia, children in Group B received greater palatine nerve block with analgesia following palatoplasty in -1 2 mL 0.25% inj. Bupivacaine (1 mL on each side) and Group F received 2 μg Kg I.V.

  • The Mandibular Nerve - Vc Or VIII by Prof
    The Mandibular Nerve - Vc or VIII by Prof. Dr. Imran Qureshi The Mandibular nerve is the third and largest division of the trigeminal nerve. It is a mixed nerve. Its sensory root emerges from the posterior region of the semilunar ganglion and is joined by the motor root of the trigeminal nerve. These two nerve bundles leave the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale and unite immediately to form the trunk of the mixed mandibular nerve that passes into the infratemporal fossa. Here, it runs anterior to the middle meningeal artery and is sandwiched between the superior head of the lateral pterygoid and tensor veli palatini muscles. After a short course during which a meningeal branch to the dura mater, and the nerve to part of the medial pterygoid muscle (and the tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini muscles) are given off, the mandibular trunk divides into a smaller anterior and a larger posterior division. The anterior division receives most of the fibres from the motor root and distributes them to the other muscles of mastication i.e. the lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, temporalis and masseter muscles. The nerve to masseter and two deep temporal nerves (anterior and posterior) pass laterally above the medial pterygoid. The nerve to the masseter continues outward through the mandibular notch, while the deep temporal nerves turn upward deep to temporalis for its supply. The sensory fibres that it receives are distributed as the buccal nerve. The 1 | P a g e buccal nerve passes between the medial and lateral pterygoids and passes downward and forward to emerge from under cover of the masseter with the buccal artery.
