 | | Similar results have been claimed for the mandibular anterior and premolar teeth with buccal infiltrations.19 As discussed with prilocaine, reports of a significantly increased risk of nerve paresthesia with the use of articaine and prilocaine, particularly for inferior alveolar and lingual nerve block injections,12,13 warrants practitioner caution in the use of these anesthetic agents. |
 | | Problems with mandibular anesthesia are most common in the molar region but are by no means limited to these teeth.23-29,34 As in the maxilla, most anesthesia problems encountered in the mandible are due to individual variations in the nerve pathways, in other words, accessory innervation (Table 2).34,35 |
