title: [Indications, feasibility and clinical experience with Vazirani-Akinozi mandibular block in limiting mouth opening and difficult anatomical conditions].
abstract: Vazirani-Akinozi technique was used in 82 patient undergoing oral surgery procedures. According to study results Vazirani-Akinozi technique was feasible in 89% of cases and particularly effective in surgical treatment of third lower molars eruption diseases complicated by inflammatory contracture. The method increases mouth opening 1.6-2.3 cm due to the soft-tissue anesthesia and partial anesthesia of masseter nerve. In case of inflammatory contracture of the jaws when inflammatory infiltration is spreading on the masseter muscle the authors recommend to use a combination of Vazirani-Akinozi and Berchet-Dubov techniques.
