The Anatomical Nature of Dental Paresthesia: A Quick Review
Abstract
Dental paresthesia is loss of sensation caused by maxillary or mandibular anesthetic administration before dental treatment. This review examines inferior alveolar block paresthesia symptoms, side effect and complications. Understanding the anatomy of the pterygomandibular fossa will help in understanding the nature and causes of the dental paresthesia. In this review, we review the anatomy of the region surrounding inferior alveolar injections, anesthetic agents and also will look also into the histology and injury process of the inferior alveolar nerve.
Keywords: Dental paresthesia, Inferior alveolar injections, Anatomy, Pterygomandibular fossa, Anesthetic agents, Dysesthesia.
