Brief Summary
The study looks to compare the success rate of lower jaw anesthesia injection (inferior alveolar nerve) that is guided by pre-treatment 3D dental scan (CBCT) versus standard injection technique.

CBCT first
EXPERIMENTALThis group will receive the injection technique that is guided by pre-treatment measurements made from the 3D dental scan (CBCT) during implant placement surgery and if the implant is placed as a two-stage procedure, during the second stage implant uncovery will receive the standard injection technique. If the implant is placed as a one-stage procedure, the second visit will not apply.
Standard technique first
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis group will receive the standard injection technique first at the implant placement surgery and if the implant is placed as a two-stage procedure, during the second stage implant uncovery will receive the injection technique guided by the 3D dental scan (CBCT). If the implant is placed as a one-stage procedure, the second visit will not apply.
Interventions
2% Lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine will be used for administering the lower jaw anesthesia (inferior alveolar nerve block).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male and female patients from the age 18 to 70 years old that are assigned to the 3 clinicians of the graduating class of LSUHSC School of Dentistry Post-graduate Periodontics program.
- Patients have been reported as an ASA I or ASA II patient that has never had an allergic reaction to lidocaine based on previous dental experience.
- The patient must be missing one or more mandibular teeth and is treatment planned for a mandibular implant that is placed that requires an inferior alveolar nerve block during surgery.
- Patient must have an existing CBCT scan within the last year or is planned for a CBCT scan for the purpose of dental implant treatment.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients diagnosed with trismus.
- Patients that request for Nitrous and IV anesthesia
- Patients missing remaining teeth in the quadrant or having a history of endodontic treatment of the remaining teeth in the quadrant.
- Patients having endodontic or pulpal pathology in the teeth in the quadrant.
