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.

Implication

Comparative analysis reveals efficacy and safety of modified mylohyoid nerve block vs Halstead's IANB in mandibular surgery.
