Due to its superior location relative to the position of the alveolar process, the infraorbital foramen is not typically encountered in the surgical placement of dental implants. The infraorbital nerve can, however, be damaged by flap reflection and the use of retractors when performing a lateral window technique sinus lift and/or in cases of extensive maxillary ridge atrophy. Pulpal and soft tissue anaesthesia of the maxillary premolars, canine, and incisors may be achieved via the infraorbital block, which delivers anaesthetic to the infraorbital foramen as referenced 1 cm below the inferior orbital margin.
