ABSTRACT
The main mandibular anesthesia techniques used are directed to the mandibular lingula and Gow-Gates, especially the former presents considerable surgical risks, including intravascular puncture, which is presented in 15–20 percent of the cases. In this study, we applied this anesthetic technique to the inferior alveolar nerve via the retromolar triangle in 20 patients who were 40–60 years old to evaluate its effectiveness, determine the latency time, and ascertain whether the anesthesia administered is sufficient to carry out the surgery and endodontics. The technique proved to be effective in 75 percent of the cases, measured and controlled with pre-vitalometer test at 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Because this technique is simple, minimally invasive,and involves low risk, it is recommended as an alternative to conventional mandibular anesthetic techniques in patients with blood dyscrasias and patients who are suspected to submit to arterial hypertension but require anesthesia with vasoconstrictor.
RESUMEN
Las principales técnicas anestésicas mandibulares usadas son la dirigida a la língula mandibular y la Gow-Gates, especialmente la primera, la cual presenta un importante porcentaje de riesgos operatorios, destacándose la punción intravascular, la cual se presenta en un 15- 20 por ciento de los casos. En este estudio se aplicó esta técnica anestésica al nervio alveolar inferior vía trígono retromolar en 20 pacientes de 40 a 60 años de edad con el fin de evaluar su efectividad, determinar los tiempos de latencia y averiguar si la anestesia conseguida es suficiente para realizar trabajos de operatoria y endodoncia. La técnica resultó ser efectiva en el 75 por ciento de los casos, medida con vitalometría previa y controlada a los 5, 10 y 15 minutos. Esta técnica se recomienda como una alternativa a las técnicas anestésicas convencionales mandibulares en pacientes con discrasias y en pacientes que se sospeche que presenten hipertensión arterial y se requiera usar anestésico con vasoconstrictor; debido a que es una técnica sencilla, poco invasiva y de bajo riesgo.
