- Describe the relevance of the anatomy and histology of the pterygomandibular triangle to effective anesthesia.
- Identify factors that may lead to failure of common mandibular block techniques.
- Contrast the anatomical factors impacting common Halstead mandibular blocks with “High Block”, “Short Needle”, Akinosi and Gow-Gates block techniques, and PDL-Inferior Alveolar block and retromolar techniques.
- Apply knowledge of relevant mandibular anatomy to alternative injection techniques to leverage for profound anesthesia and quick onset rescue injections.
