Failure to obtain adequate anaesthesia associated with a bifid mandibular canal: a case report
The document attached has been archived with permission from the Australian Dental Association. An external link to the publisher’s copy is included.The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block is the most common method for obtaining mandibular anaesthesia in dental practice but it is estimated to have a success rate of only 80 to 85 per cent. Causes of failure include problems with operator technique and anatomical variation between individuals. This case report involves a patient who received IAN blocks on two separate occasions that resulted in only partial anaesthesia of the ipsilateral side of the mandible. Radiographic assessment disclosed the presence of bifid mandibular canals that were present bilaterally and that may have affected the outcomes of the local anaesthetic procedures. Previous studies of bifid mandibular canals are reviewed and suggestions provided that should enable clinicians to differentially diagnose, and then manage, cases where IAN blocks result in inadequate mandibular anaesthesia.K Lew, G Townsen
Desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible - review of the literature and presentation of a rare case
Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, benign but locally aggressive, intraosseous lesion with a high tendency of local recurrence. In this report the actual literature is reviewed regarding epidemiological data, pathology, clinical diagnostic criterias, therapy and prognosis. Moreover, a report of an interesting case is included localized in the mandibular corpus
