Abstract:
AIM: Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) of the mandible is commonly used in the oral cavity as an anaesthetic technique for dental procedures. It is important for a dental student to be familiar with the precise method for injecting and delivering local anaesthetics, so as to make the dental procedures more effective and to decrease the complications caused by the injection.This study will evaluate the success rate of the first IANB administered by dental students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we evaluated dental students who practice under the guidance of their advisors. Dental students (n = 78) from Saveetha Dental college who had no physical issues related to the use of Lignocaine hydrochloride and adrenaline bitartate . The students were trained in the standard ways to locate the anatomical landmarks for IANB and were instructed how to judge the criteria of a successful IANB procedure. RESULTS : Most of the dental practitioners in this study (64/78 or 82.05%) used the method mentioned above to palpate and locate the anatomical landmarks. This method is easy to follow and helps the practitioner to locate the acceptable area for delivery of local anesthetic, which adds to the success of IANB. Moreover, 89.74% of the dental practitioners (70/78) were right-handed, so most of them injected on the right side. The onset was approximately 0-5 mins for nearly half of the dental practitioners in this study (41/78 or 52.56% for subjective and 39/78 or 50% for objective onset), with the use of Lignocaine Hydrochloride and Adrenaline Bitartate injection. CONCLUSION: The only recorded factor that affected the success of local anesthesia was the skill of the dental practitioner. This reinforces the notion that local anesthetic injection, especially IANB, is a technique- sensitive procedure.
