Objective: To assess the knowledge about different mandibular nerve block techniques of fresh dental graduates, dental surgeons and specialists to attain mandibular nerve block for dental treatment in Multan. Design of the Study: It was a cross-sectional survey. Study Settings: This study was carried out at Department of Dentistry at Multan Medical & Dental College, Nishtar Institute of dentistry (Nishtar Medical University) and Bakhtawer Amin Dental College from August 2019 to August 2020. Material and Methods: The study involved 220 respondents. The questionnaire was administered to fresh dental graduates (house officers) and dental surgeons in 3 dental colleges of Multan, and was collected on the same day. House officers who did not return the forms were reminded personally and contacted on the phone thrice over the following week. Results of the Study: The frequency of respondants who could administer Gow-Gates without supervison was 20.9% (n=46). Participants from NID, Multan had the highest frequency (35.3%) with the lowest in BIMDC (16.6%)and MMDC(20.6%). The differences were non-significant (p=0.19). Significantly higher frequency of male respondants (10%, n=22) claimed they could administer Gow-Gates without supervison compared to female respondants (5.4%, n=12, p=0.012, Chi-Square). Training for Gow-Gates had been received by 12.7% (n=28) of the House Officers and dental surgeons. The Highest frequency of training was in NID, Multan (5.4%, n= 12, p= 0.016, chi-square). Conclusion: The majority of the dental practitioners of Multan used IANB as their primary LA technique and intraligamental injections as a supplemental LA technique in their clinics to attain mandibular molars anesthesia for general dental procedures like fillings, root canals and extractions.

Background and objectivesMandibular nerve blocks are indicated for atypical face pain and trigeminal neuralgia. We hypothesized that a modified lateral approach, which entailed a combination of lateral and anterior approach techniques to the mandibular nerve block would lead to similar efficacy and improved safety profile rather than the typical lateral or anterior techniques.MethodsThis alternative approach was derived from anatomical investigation using the Radiology Anatomy Atlas Viewer and reconstructed axial cadaveric slices. We used axial slices at the level of the lateral pterygoid plate, and at the level of the temporomandibular joint to devise a needle path appropriate for this block.ResultsThe modified lateral approach to the mandibular nerve block was verified theoretically through cadaveric reconstructed slices and has been successfully performed in our practice. Precise needle trajectory could avoid both periosteal contact and gross redirection, as well as other procedural complications.ConclusionThe modified lateral approach to a mandibular nerve block avoids the respective risks associated with either the lateral and anterior approach. Facial intervention techniques typically pose increased safety challenges, however through cadaveric anatomic reconstruction, we have developed a safer approach for mandibular nerve blockade.
