Abstract
Local anaesthetic drugs are commonly used in dental practice, with few complications. We describe an unusual complication of an inferior dental nerve block where, as the needle was advanced through the mucosa, the patient experienced profound numbness and skin pallor in the distribution of the infra-orbital nerve. We discuss the possible mechanism for this complication.Entities:
