a/ What are the 4 rules of intraoral anesthesia?
- Approaching from the less sensitive area
- Rules of intraoral anesthesia
a/ What are the 5 rules of intraoral anesthesia?
- Approaching from the less sensitive area
- Always inject where submucosa can be found
- The olive faces the bone surface
- Continuous deponation during injection
- Deponate slowly with little pressure (2ml -> 30s)
- Rules of intraoral anesthesia
b/ What are the most sensitive area in intraoral anesthesia?
Lips and the papilla between the upper and lower incisors
- Rules of intraoral anesthesia
c/ Why do we have to deponate continuously during injection?
1/ Decrease the sensitivity after insertion
2/ Pushes the small vessels and nerves aside in the connective tissue
