| Description: | Why are we successful most of the time and proceed to miss three
blocks in one week? Why, when we KNOW that we have
performed the techniques absolutely correctly, do we fail to get
grade "A" anesthesia on our patient, or if we do, it only has a
duration of 5-10 minutes? Highlights of this course are:
- Pros and cons of the conventional inferior alveolar block
- Akinosi and Gow-Gates mandibular blocks will be analyzed
with then amalgamated in a "mixed" or hybrid approach
- Multi-tasking supplementation with infiltrative and advanced
techniques
- Newest in Computerized Local Anesthesia Delivery systems
along with intraosseous techniques
- Tips and Tricks which can result in predictably higher success
rates and much more
