Abstract
Background: Paralysis of the Facial Nerve is facial a neuropathy caused by complications in the motor branch of the seventh cranial nerve. The Paralysis of the Facial Nerve has multiple etiologies among these iatrogeny for mandibular anesthesia. It is caused by erroneous anesthetic technique, extended dental extraction or dental infections. Case Report: Patient 25 years old, female, no medical conditions, referring allergic history to cefuroxime axetil participated in the practical activity of anesthesia undergraduate degree in dentistry. one ampoule of lidocaine 2% with epinephrine to block the left inferior alveolar nerve was administered. After 5 minutes of the end of pterigomandibular anesthesia, the patient reported that her face on the left had become dormant, then the patient underwent a clinical examination and was diagnosed with peripheral facial paralysis, after monitoring and showing stable vital signs the patient was released. Conclusion: The peripheral facial paralysis in dentistry is a rarely reported complication, with the possibility of occurrence during unsuccessful mandibular anesthesia. If paralysis occurs the patient should be informed, reinforcing the temporary character of his condition.
