Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) of the mandible is commonly used in oral cavity as an anesthetic technique for dental procedures. This study evaluated success rate first IANB administered by practitioners.Volunteer practitioners at Mahidol University who had never performed INAB carried out 106 The were divided into 12 groups with their advisors randomized control trials. We recorded via pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores.A large percentage (85.26%) standard method to locate anatomical landmarks, injecting local correct position, barrel syringe parallel occlusal plane mandibular teeth. Further, 68.42% injected on right side using left index finger retraction. onset time was approximately 0-5 mins nearly half (47.37% subjective and 43.16% objective onset), while duration 240-300 minutes (36.84%) after initiation numbness. Moreover, VAS scores 2.5 ± 1.85 2.1 1.8 delivering anesthesia, respectively.The only factor that affected administering practitioner. reinforces notion anesthesia administration a technique-sensitive procedure.
