4% Articaine buccal infiltration versus 2% lidocaine
inferior alveolar nerve block for emergency root canal treatment in mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis: a randomized clinical study.
The effect of premedication with ibuprofen and indomethacin on the success of
inferior alveolar nerve block for teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
Clinical scenario 2:
Inferior alveolar nerve sheath tumor.
The patient currently is 8 months' status postsurgery and has normal neurosensory function of the right
inferior alveolar nerve distribution with a pinpoint area of hypoesthesia along the right lateral lip vermillion border measuring 2 x 2 mm.
Relationship between
inferior alveolar nerve imaging and neurosensory impairment following bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in skeletal class III cases with mandibular prognatism.

inferior alveolar nerve.
We could not find any previous reports regarding the anesthesia of the
inferior alveolar nerve due to infection of the infratemporal space.
In our case due to multifocal involvement of the jaws, preauricular area, parotid, and TMJ and due to osteolytic enlargement of the mandibular canal, there is a possibility that the tumor has originated from medial and lower branches (
inferior alveolar nerve) of TGN and facial nerve [10].
Objective: To evaluate the pulpal anaesthesia of mandibular 1st molar by using 4% articaine in two different techniques i-e buccal infiltration and
inferior alveolar nerve block.
The mandibular teeth are more prone to anesthetic failure than maxillary teeth due to difficulty in
inferior alveolar nerve block and nerve sub-branches [2].
