Abstract
This study investigated the extent of complete anaesthesia from buccal nerve block. 40 healthy Thai patients (20 males; 20 females) requiring buccal nerve block for surgery were studied. After the buccal nerve was blocked, the buccal mucosa was explored using a sharp probe to map out the extent of anaesthesia. The operation was carried out after inferior alveolar and lingual nerve block. The extent of the anaesthesia was mainly from the retromolar area to the second molar, followed by the first molar to the second premolar, whilst the first premolar to the central incisor was the area least affected. An important finding of this study was that the anaesthetized extent of some patients extended to the anterior region on the same quadrant. This study showed the affected areas of buccal nerve anaesthesia extended through the buccal mucosa from the first premolar to the central incisor in some patients. It can serve as another informative indication for lower anterior surgery. © 2011 International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
