Study Arms (2)
Study group (IAN block group)
ACTIVE COMPARATORpatients will receive bilateral inferior alveolar nerve block. 23 patients
control group
ACTIVE COMPARATORpatients will not receive the block and will receive intravenous multimodal analgesia according to standard protocol. 23 patients
Interventions
Placing the tip of the thumb or forefinger into the coronoid notch (retromolar fossa) to help visualize the vertical height at which the needle will enter, and retracting the cheek to expose the pterygomandibular triangle. Placing the barrel of the syringe over the contralateral lower 1st and 2nd premolars and resting the side of the needle tip against the lateral edge of the pterygomandibular raphe, aiming the tip of the needle into the pterygomandibular triangle, with the bevel facing the ramus. Advancing the needle tip slightly into the mucosa until it is stopped by the ramus (typically after about 2 to 2.5 cm of insertion) and withdrawing needle 1 mm away from bone. Aspirating to rule out intravascular placement. If aspiration reveals intravascular placement, withdrawal of the needle will be done 2 to 3 mm, then reaspirating prior to injection. Slowly injecting about 2 to 4 milliliters of bupivacaine 0.5% anesthetic in each side..
in control group, Patients will not receive the block and pain will be controlled according to institutional protocol using 30 mg ketorolac IV and fentanyl increments as needed.
