When Stanley Malamed, in his books and many of his papers, writes that " IANB has the highest failure rate among all local anesthetic blocks in Medicine - not only in dental local anesthesia : are there any data in the medical literature backing this assertion, or do you think it is simply a fact that he personnaly observed or experienced as a dentist-anesthesiologist, without scientific evidence ? In the first case, are there references readily availa and if so, could anybody let me know how and where I can get it ?
Thank you for your comments.
