Article Abstract
A study is made of 56 patients subjected to lower molar extraction, comparing the efficacy of the Akinosi technique as an alternative to direct or conventional mandibular nerve block in two groups of 28 subjects each. The parameters evaluated were pain in response to puncture, percentage positive aspiration, latency, pain during the intervention and complications. Patient pain in response to puncture was comparatively less intense and frequent with the Akinosi technique. The latency to anesthesia was briefer with conventional mandibular block than with the Akinosi technique (2.9 versus 3.8 minutes). Pain during the intervention and the duration of the anesthetic effect were similar for both techniques. The patients anesthetized with the Akinosi technique required more buccal nerve reinforcement infiltrations to complete the procedure. The anesthetic failure rates were 10.7% and 17.8% for the conventional and Akinosi technique, respectively. It is concluded that while the Akinosi technique can be used to extract lower molars, direct mandibular block offers superior anesthetic performance.

Introduction: Effective pain control is crucial in dental practice; thus, local anesthetic techniques have been extensively taught. The Halstead technique is the most commonly used inferior alveolar nerve block despite its relatively high failure rate. On the other hand, the Vazirani‒Akinosi technique (VAT) is less commonly taught.

Background The inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is a commonly employed technique in oral surgery for achieving profound anesthesia in the mandibular teeth and associated structures. Several techniques have been developed to enhance the success rate and patient comfort during the IANB. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the efficacy of different IANB techniques for mandibular anesthesia.

Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the proximity of maxillary second molar (MSM) and maxillary tuberosity (MT) to mandibular foramen (MF) to perform successful Vazirani-Akinosi nerve block (VANB) technique.
Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 2613 sides of the jaw were selected for the study. The vertical distance from MSM to the MF and the vertical distance from MT to the MF and from MT to the posterior border of the ramus (PR) were measured and compared between males and females using independent samples t test.

Introduction: Different techniques have been developed over the years for achieving mandibular nerve anesthesia. Many methods have been proposed back and forth in order to perform effective anaesthesia.
Aims And Objective: The main aim of our study was to carry out comparison of clinical efficacy of mandibular nerve anaesthesia by Kurt Thoma technique with that of Vazirani-Akinosi nerve block technique.

Purpose: To compare the clinical efficacy of classical inferior alveolar nerve block (CIANB) and Vazirani-Akinosi (VA) injection technique in patients indicated for bilateral mandibular premolar teeth extraction for orthodontic treatment.
Methods: This split-mouth comparative study was conducted on 20 patients randomly selected for bilateral extraction of mandibular premolar indicated for orthodontic treatment to receive CIANB and VA injection technique alternatively. The clinical parameters evaluated were pain during injection, onset of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia, quality of anesthesia, nerve anesthetized with single nerve block, need for re-injection and frequency of positive aspiration.
