    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neuroanatomy
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • The second division of the trigeminal nerve (V2) is crucial for facial sensation.
    • Effective nerve blocks are essential for various dental and surgical procedures.
    • An intraoral approach offers potential advantages for V2 blockade.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and reintroduce a specific intraoral technique for blocking the second division of the trigeminal nerve.
    • To detail the anatomical landmarks and procedural steps for this nerve block.
    • To discuss the clinical applications and safety considerations of this technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomical description of the pterygopalatine fossa and canal.
    • Step-by-step guide to the intraoral injection technique.
    • Discussion of indications, contraindications, and potential complications.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for targeted local anesthetic deposition in the pterygopalatine fossa.
    • Successful blockade of the second division of the trigeminal nerve is achievable via this route.
    • Comprehensive information on technique, anatomy, and safety is provided.

    Conclusions:

    • The described intraoral technique provides an effective method for V2 nerve blockade.
    • This forgotten technique warrants renewed consideration for clinical practice.
    • Understanding the anatomy is key to safe and successful application.
