Sažetak
Comparative measurements were made of 144 orthopantomographs in 50 patients
with successful and 94 patients with unsuccessful inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia.
The results show that the bony lingula is prominent in 28.5% of all patients, or in
56.0% of those with unsuccessful anesthesia. The variables mandibular notch vs. mandibular
foramen (MN-MF) and the anterior ramus ridge vs. mandibular foramen
(ARR-MF) show greater distances in the group of patients with successful anesthesia,
while the variables of posterior ramus ridge vs. mandibular foramen (PRR-MF) and
mandibular angle vs. mandibular foramen (MA-MF) were greater in the group of patients
with unsuccessful anesthesia (p > 0.05). It is concluded that the variability in position
of the mandibular foramen among others may be responsible for an occasional
failure of inferior alveolar nerve block.
