FREQUENCY OF POSITIVE ASPIRATION IN ANESTHESIA OF THE INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE

Abstract

In clinical practice of dentistry carrying out aspiration prior to any anesthesia, is necessary to prevent inadvertent intravascular injection. Aspiration before administration of the local anesthetic reduces the incidence of intravascular injection of the anesthetic solution and thus the incidence of adverse reactions attributable to overdosing. For Dental students, it is very necessary to understand and prevent the complications. This study was carried out by interns in a calibration posted in oral and maxillofacial surgery department. Direct Technique of the Inferior alveolar nerve block was used. Result showed frequency of positive aspiration of the inferior alveolar nerve block by direct technique by the hands of interns was 13%.
