This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the Vazirani Akinosis (V-A) mandibular block technique in achieving local anesthesia for the procedures in the mandibular arch. Here the subject design is used to compare onset of anesthesia, quality of anesthesia, branches of the mandibular nerve affected, and complications with both the Akinosis technique and classical inferior alveolar nerve block technique (IANB). Materials and Methods. Female adult patients with healthy medical records were participants for this study. 50 female adult patients between age group 15-65 were randomly selected for each technique. Total number of patients were 100. A 27-gauge needle was used for both the nerve block technique. 2% scaidicane (Mepivacaine) used as the local anesthesia with vasoconstrictor. 1.8 ml of solution was given for both the nerve block technique.
