Inserting a foreign body into our body may bring risk of complications. The same goes for injecting local anesthetic agents or pain numbing solution into the mouth for a dental procedure. Complications in administrating dental anesthesia may occur due to preventable or unpreventable circumstances. Continue reading
The inferior alveolar nerve (sometimes called the inferior dental nerve) is a branch of the mandibular nerve, which is itself the third branch (V3) of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). Continue reading
INDICATIONS OF LOCAL ANESTHESIA
1. Extraction and odontectomy
2. Alveoloplasty and alveolotomy
3. Incision and drainage of abscess
4. Cavity preparation in deeper cavities
5. Pulp procedure
6. Periodontal and gingival surgery
7. Cyst enucleation and marsupialization
8. Removal of small benign growth and salivary stones
9. Relief from denture sore spots
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
The neuron is the structural unit of the nervous system. There are 2 basic types of neuron : the sensory and motor neurons
Sensory neurons that are capable of transmitting pain consist of thre major portions : the peripheral process or the dentritic zone which is composed of arborization of free neve endings, the axonal process which transmits the impulses from the dentritic process to the nuclei in the brain and the cell body or soma which provides vital metabolic support to the entire neuron.
