Draft:TuttleNumbNow technique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The TuttleNumbNow (TNN) technique is an intraosseous anesthesia method developed by Dr. Gregory K. Tuttle in Orem, Utah.[1] [2] It provides a primary injection option that allows dental professionals to penetrate the mandibular buccal plate without using drills or sleeves, relying on a specialized 30-gauge needle.[3] TNN is particularly valued for minimizing complications, such as lip or tongue numbness, while offering rapid and effective anesthesia. [4] The method is patented and has been discussed in peer-reviewed research as a promising alternative to conventional IA nerve blocks.[5][6][7]
