To administer the Gow-Gates Mandibular Block (GGMB), the targeted tissue is first dried using sterile gauze, followed by the application of a topical anaesthetic gel.

Both extra-oral and intraoral landmarks are then carefully identified:

1. **Extra-oral landmarks** include the lower border of the tragus or the intertragic notch and the corner of the mouth.

2. **Intraoral landmarks** involve the mesio-palatal cusp of the maxillary second molar, beneath which the needle tip is initially positioned before being advanced to a point just distal to the molar.

They developed a material that replicates the natural environment for tooth growth, enabling cells to communicate and trigger the transformation into tooth cells.
