Neural Blockade Anaesthesia of the Mandibular Nerve and Its Terminal Branches: Rationale for Different Anaesthetic Techniques Including Their Advantages and Disadvantages

<table>Photograph of the mandibular ramus from a medial view showing the needle tip positioning required for the Akinosi closed mouth mandibular nerve block technique. Note that the needle should not contact bone during needle insertion. The needle tip slips along the medial aspect of the ramus to its intended target area, the loose areolar tissue within the superior reach of the pterygomadibular space (CN: condylar neck, CP: coronoid process, L: lingula).</table>
