Regional anaesthesia (nerve blocks) is routinely performed for oral surgical and dental procedures. The type and location of procedure determines the technique of anaesthesia to be used. A nerve block anesthetizes the main branch of a specific nerve allowing treatment to be performed in the region innervated by the nerve. This book will review the essential anatomy of orofacial nerves (greater palatine, infraorbital and supraorbital) and detail the practical approach to performing nerve blocks for a wide variety of surgical procedures in this region.
