Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison between two regional anaesthesia techniques performed by inexperienced operators: the Gow-Gates block versus the Kenneth Reed block.
The aim was to compare the efficacy of Kenneth Reed and Gow-Gates inferior alveolar nerve blocks when performed by an inexperienced operator. ⋯ Our research has demonstrated that the Kenneth Reed technique is equally effective at producing anaesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve. Compared with conventional techniques there is a lower incidence of positive aspiration and potential for lower morbidity as the local anaesthetic is deposited further from the neurovascular bundle than when deposited near the mandibular foramen as in most conventional Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block techniques.
