Inferior alveolar and lingual nerve blocks:
- The height of insertion is about 5 mm above the mandibular occlusal plane, although in young children entry at the height of the occlusal plane should also be successful.
-The needle enters the tissues at a point midway between the external oblique ridge and the pterygomandibular raphe at the level of the occlusal plane.
- Needle must be inserted at the level of occlusal plane.
- The mandibular foramen is situated at a level lower than the occlusal plane of the - primary teeth, therefore the injection must be made slightly lower and more posteriorly than for an adult patient.
