A new approach to the mandibular nerve block.
A new method for the block anaesthesia of the oral branches of the mandibular nerve is described. Only one penetration of the oral mucosa is made in this injection at a site which is relatively painless and which results in a more rapid onset of anaesthesia. This method is also of value when trismus or ankylsis is present and is free of common complications.
