| Abstract | ||
| A comparative clinical evaluation was made between the effectiveness of infiltration and infraorbital nerve block techniques in periapical surgery on maxillary anterior and premolar teeth. The comparison was based on certain criteria adopted for this purpose. The study was conducted on (80) subjects of different ages and sexes. After a final diagnosis was made on the teeth chosen, they were indicated for periapical surgery (Currettage, apicectomy... etc.) as a last resort to extraction. Forty subjects received infiltration anesthesia at the site of surgery, while the other forty received the infraorbital nerve block technique as a single injection at site of surgery. The over all success was based on the grade of surgical anesthesia achieved during surgery. The results showed that the infraorbital nerve block technique provided 87.5% Grade 4 anesthesia during surgery when compared with only 27.5% Grade A anesthesia provided by infiltration techniques alone. | ||
