Application of ultrasound guidance in the oral and maxillofacial nerve block
Introduction Nerve block technology is widely used in clinical practice for pain management. Conventional nerve localization methods, which only rely on palpation to identify anatomical landmarks, require experienced surgeons and can be risky. Visualization technologies like ultrasound guidance can...

Visualization technologies like ultrasound guidance can help prevent complications by helping surgeons locate anatomical structures in the surgical area and by guiding the operation using different kinds of images.

Results and Discussion A review of the literature showed that ultrasound guidance improves the safety and effectiveness of several kinds of puncture procedures, including nerve blocks. There are two approaches to blocking the mandibular nerve: intraoral and extraoral. This review found that the role of ultrasound guidance is more important in the extraoral approach. There are also two approaches to the blocking of the maxillary nerve and the trigeminal ganglion under ultrasound guidance: the superazygomatic approach and the infrazygomatic approach. The infrazygomatic approach can be further divided into the anterior approach and the posterior approach. It is generally believed that the anterior approach is safer and more effective. This review found that the effectiveness and safety of most oral and maxillofacial nerve block operations can be improved through the use of ultrasound guidance.Zhiwei CaoKun ZhangLiru HuJian PanPeerJ Inc.articleNerve blockUltrasoundMandibular nerveMaxillary nerveMedicineRENPeerJ, Vol 9, p e12543 (2021) |
