Successful mandibular anesthesia following numerous unsuccessful attempts: a case report.
The management of a very anxious patient who had undergone uneventful dental treatment in the past, but posed a problem when clinicians attempted to secure profound mandibular anesthesia, is discussed. This case report also examines the advantages and disadvantages of the Gow-Gates mandibular block technique, and describes the patient's subsequent management.
