    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Medical Device Safety

    Context:

    • Accidental breakage of a 30-gauge disposable dental needle during inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia.
    • Initial attempts at removal using a guide needle and roentgenograms were unsuccessful.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a successful method for removing a broken dental needle from the pterygomandibular space.
    • To present a novel technique for managing intraoperative complications in dental anesthesia.

    Summary:

    • A case report detailing the accidental breakage of a dental needle during inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia.
    • The broken needle was lodged in the pterygomandibular space and could not be retrieved with conventional methods.
    • Successful removal was achieved 11 days post-incident utilizing X-ray television (X-ray TV) monitoring during a secondary surgical procedure.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the potential utility of X-ray TV monitoring for the retrieval of broken mandibular needles.
    • Provides a valuable case study for dentists and oral surgeons facing similar complications.
    • Emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging and monitoring techniques in managing surgical mishaps.
