Question 1 of 100FK1 — Molecular, biochemical, cellular, and systems-level development, structure, and function

A 34-year-old man has a lower first molar with irreversible pulpitis, a swollen tender vestibule and pain on percussion. Two inferior alveolar blocks with lidocaine have left the tooth sensitive to instrumentation. He asks why the injections are not working. What best explains the failed block?

Dentovio provides independent educational preparation using original exam-style material. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by JCNDE, PSI, or any dental board, and it does not reproduce recalled exam questions. Practice results are not pass predictions.
