Abstract
Aspiration of the syringe after the needle had been placed in position for an inferior alveolar nerve block (but before the anaesthetic solution was injected) in 250 patients showed that the tip of the needle was in a blood vessel in 49 (20%). Aspiration of blood was significantly more common in patients aged 9-19 years than in all others (P=0.04).Entities:
