    The risk of nerve injury in relation to mandibular dental implants is not known but it is a recognised risk requiring the patient to be warned. [10] If an injury occurs urgent treatment is required. The risk nerve injury in relation deep dental injections has a risk of injury in approximately 1:14,000 with 25% of these remaining persistent.

  3. Coronectomy - Wikipedia

    Coronectomy should be considered if there are signs that the patient is at a high risk of nerve damage during extraction: Lower wisdom tooth is shown to be close to the inferior alveolar canal radiographically: [6] Signs of narrowing or diversion of the canal; Roots are darkened/ Canal is interrupted; Interruption of lamina dura; Juxta-apical ...

  4. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

    Source: [3] In the maxillary arch nerves for infiltration are branches of the superior alveolar, the greater palatine and the nasopalatine nerve Posterior superior alveolar nerve supplies the molars (not including the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar), the surrounding bone, periodontal ligament, periosteum and buccal soft tissues

  7. Dental intrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_intrusion

    Dental intrusion is an apical displacement of the tooth into the alveolar bone. This injury is accompanied by extensive damage to periodontal ligament , cementum , disruption of the neurovascular supply to the pulp, and communication or fracture of the alveolar socket.

  8. Dental anesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anesthesia

    The inferior alveolar nerve block is probably one of the most common methods used by dentist to anaesthetise the mandibular teeth in adults. This technique aims to inject the needle and deposit local anaesthetic close to the nerve before it enters the mandibular foramen, which locates on the medial aspect of the mandibular ramus.

  9. Dental trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_trauma

    Transporting the tooth in water is not recommended, as this will damage the delicate cells that make up the tooth's interior. Seek emergency dental treatment immediately. When the injured teeth are painful while functioning due to damage to the periodontal ligaments (e.g., dental subluxation ), a temporary splinting of the injured teeth may ...
