DOI: 10.11607/jomi.7734, PubMed ID (PMID): 31528868Pages 1254-1259, Language: EnglishJamjoom, Faris Z. / Doliveux, Simon / Rousson, Dominique D. / Friedland, Bernard / Hamilton, AdamBlock anesthesia for the maxillary division (V2) of the trigeminal nerve is a suitable approach when an entire quadrant of teeth and/or associated structures are involved. The most effective approach to anesthetize the maxillary branch is intraorally via the greater palatine canal. This case report describes the use of a computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) implant surgical template designed with a guide channel to allow for the administration of maxillary nerve block through the greater palatine canal.
