Introduction: Dental students and interns have experienced inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) failures in their clinical practice
Method: The current study was designed to assess the performance of senior dental students in the injection of IANB.Methods: This analytic cross-sectional study included 23 senior dentistry students. The dental students were included if they were willing to participate in this study and 115 patients requiring inferior alveolar nerve block injection referred to the oral and maxillofacial department of the university were enrolled in this study. The demographic data of the students and patients were recorded. After the IANB injection, pain at the entrance of the needle, the subjective onset of the injection, and the success of the injection were recorded. The data was analyzed by SPSS version 26. The independent t-test and chi-square were applied at the significance level of 0.05.
Results: The patients significantly reported “no pain” more frequently than “painful” when the needle entered the mucosa (P=0.038). The “good onset” was significantly reported more often than “acceptable onset” and “failed onset” (P=0.012, and P=0.001, respectively). The “acceptable onset” was more frequently recorded than the “failed onset”. (P=0.049) The “successful” IANB injection was significantly more frequent than “failure. (P=0.023) Gender and age of students had no significant relation with the overall success of IANB injection. (P=0.683, and P=0.549, respectively) Gender and age of patients also had no significant relation with the overall success of IANB injection. (P=0.889, and P=0.896, respectively)
Conclusion: The senior dental students were mainly successful in the IANB injection.
