Abstract
With a 35-mm needle length, the probability to reach the IOF was high (79%), while the risk to injure the skull base (2%) and the optical nerve (0%) was low. Artery injuries were only found in 13% of cases. Therefore, a 35-mm needle length allows for the best efficacy/risk ratio in maxillary nerve block.
