[Medical solution to needle breakage during local anesthesia]

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Anesthesiology
• Medical Case Studies

Background:

• Needle breakage is a known complication during dental anesthesia.
• Numerous cases are documented in dental literature, causing distress to patients and practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze a specific clinical case of needle breakage during conductive anesthesia.
• To propose a medical approach and actionable recommendations for managing needle breakage.
• To evaluate intraosseous anesthesia as a safer alternative for pain management.

Main Methods:

• Case study analysis of a patient (L.) at Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry.
• Review of clinical procedures and outcomes related to needle breakage.
• Comparative assessment of pain management techniques.

Main Results:

• Detailed examination of the needle breakage incident during conductive anesthesia.
• Development of a specific medical strategy to address the complication.
• Identification of intraosseous anesthesia as a potentially safer method.

Conclusions:

• Needle breakage is a significant risk in dental anesthesia requiring careful management.
• The proposed approach offers a viable solution for handling such incidents.
• Intraosseous anesthesia presents a promising alternative for enhanced patient safety and effective pain control.
