Inferior alveolar nerve block using the internal oblique ridge

Article Abstract:

The internal oblique ridge can be used as an anatomic landmark for anesthetizing the back of the jaw in dental procedures. These procedures often fail because the pain-relieving medication is not injected precisely where necessary to deaden the inferior alveolar nerve. Orienting the syringe parallel to the surface of the lower teeth, a needle can be inserted perpendicular to the internal oblique ridge to a distance of about 12 mm, or until bone is contacted. The anesthetic is then injected at the mandibular foramen to achieve effective local anesthesia.
