The inferior alveolar nerve block involves the injection of a local anesthetic solution near the area of the mandibular foramen and the entry of the nerve into the inferior alveolar canal. This anesthetic technique is widely used in routine dental practice as it facilitates multiple surgical procedures. This activity reviews the anatomy relevant to and indications for the inferior alveolar nerve block, describes various techniques that facilitate the administration of the anesthetic agent, and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving outcomes for patients who undergo this procedure.
