Abstract:

Posterior alveolar nerve block is a common anesthesia technique in oro-dental clinics. However, some clinicians are reluctant to use it because of several adverse reactions and uncertainty with the anesthetic effect. Based on published literature and the author’s experience, this article discusses the related anatomy, clinical operation, adverse reactions, and countermeasures of posterior superior alveolar nerve-block anesthesia.

Key words: posterior alveolar nerve, block anesthesia, hypo-anesthesia, hematoma, diplopia
