Modified Mylohyoid Nerve Anesthesia/Block With 4% Articaine and Dexamethasone Versus Halstead’s IANB With 2% Lidocaine in Mandibular Molar Surgery: A Comparative Analysis of Efficacy and Safety Outcomes

Key Points

• This research compares the efficacy and safety of modified mylohyoid nerve anesthesia with 4% articaine against Halstead’s inferior alveolar nerve block using 2% lidocaine in molar surgeries.
• Conducted a comparative analysis between two anesthesia techniques.
• Utilized modified mylohyoid nerve block with 4% articaine and dexamethasone.
• Compared against Halstead’s IANB with 2% lidocaine.
• Examined efficacy and safety outcomes in mandibular molar surgeries.
• Modified mylohyoid nerve block showed improved efficacy compared to Halstead's technique.
• Safety outcomes indicated lower adverse effects with the modified technique.
• Patients reported better pain management with 4% articaine and dexamethasone.
