Study type | Interventional |
Dental anesthesia is routinely performed based on anatomical landmarks which can be variable leading to repeated injections and failure. Ultrasonography can be used to guide these injections by identifying the nerves, accompanying blood vessels and the bony landmarks. 20 healthy adult patients will be selected to receive ultrasound guided greater palatine nerve block (gpn) (10 patients) or inferior alveolar nerve (ian) block (10 patients) depending on the dental procedure they are undergoing. The study will evaluate the feasibility and success rates of the ultrasound guided gpn and ian nerve block.
