Mandibular nerve blocks can lead to complications like abscesses. This study presents rare cases of osteomyelitis in the ascending mandibular ramus following this dental injection.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Mandibular nerve blocks are common dental procedures.
  • Complications such as pterygomandibular abscesses have been documented.
  • Osteomyelitis of the ascending mandibular ramus is not previously reported following these blocks.

Observation:

  • Two patients developed osteomyelitis of the ascending mandibular ramus.
  • The onset followed a mandibular nerve block injection.
  • This complication was previously undocumented in medical literature.

Findings:

  • Presents the first reported cases of odontogenic osteomyelitis of the ascending mandibular ramus.
  • Highlights a rare but serious complication of mandibular nerve blocks.
  • Suggests a potential link between the injection and subsequent bone infection.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication.
  • Further research may be needed to understand the mechanism.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for affected patients.
