Investigation of the variability of the pterygomandibular space from the point of view of the target point of the inferior alveolar nerve block

CONCLUSION: The data obtained determine the differences in the volume of the PMS in individuals with different shapes of the skull, face and mandible, as well as sex differences. Thus, indicating the need to take into account these features when choosing the required amount of anesthetic in clinical practice. The average volume of the PMS space, according to our data, is 1.8-2.0ml, which is consistent with the clinical data described in the literature.PMID:38056782 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152197
