This study evaluated mandibular block (MB) anesthesia using a standardized method. The technique showed high patient satisfaction and effective pulpal anesthesia, particularly for posterior teeth.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Mandibular block (MB) anesthesia is crucial for dental procedures.
  • Standardized methods are needed for reliable efficacy assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the manifestations and efficiency of mandibular block (MB) anesthesia.
  • To evaluate a standardized method for assessing MB effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective randomized study with 123 patients receiving MB.
  • Assessed pulpal and soft tissue anesthesia using electric pulp test and explorer.
  • Standardized injection of 2.1 mL 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine.

Main Results:

  • High subjective numbness (100%) reported by patients.

  • Pulpal anesthesia success rates: 5.7% (incisor), 38.2% (canine), 55.3% (premolar), 90.2% (molar).
  • Slower onset for anterior teeth compared to posterior teeth.

    • Conclusions:

    • The standardized method reliably assessed MB efficacy.
    • MB provides effective anesthesia, especially for posterior teeth.
    • Standardized assessment enhances understanding of MB manifestations and efficiency.
