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 mandible showing the positioning of the needle tip when administering the anterior IANB. Note that the location of the needle tip is a considerable distance from where the IAN would be expected. This technique relies heavily on the ability of local anaesthetic to diffuse throughout the pterygomandibular space (NC: neck of Condyle, CP: coronoid process, L: lingula).</table>
