Case Reports[Transient paresis after mandibular block anaesthesia].
Mandibular block anaesthesia is frequently used in dentistry. The technique is more susceptible to failure than local anaesthesia by infiltration. Two cases of patients who were afflicted by transient paresis of (branches of) the facial and vagus nerves after mandibular block anaesthesia have been analysed. With reference to both these cases advice is given on how to react in case of a misdirected mandibular block anaesthesia.
