The document discusses techniques for mandibular anesthesia. It focuses on the inferior alveolar nerve block, which has the highest success rate of mandibular nerve blocks but still a failure rate of 15-20%. The inferior alveolar nerve block anesthetizes multiple areas including the mandibular teeth and soft tissues, but does not provide complete mandibular anesthesia and may require supplemental techniques. Precise deposition of the local anesthetic solution within 1mm of the inferior alveolar nerve is required for success.
