Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is widely used for performing painless intraoral treatments. In rare cases, ophthalmic complications (OCs) such as diplopia, amaurosis, mydriasis, ptosis, etc., may occur. Despite being uncommon and usually transient, OCs may lead to stressful situations, and dentists should be aware of them in order to prevent them. The aim of this review is to highlight these OCs related to the IANB.
