Q

What is infiltration anaesthesia

A

When anaesthetic infiltrates the target tissue
At Apex of tooth
Depends on dentistry of surrounding tissue
Maxilla thin and porous mandible denser

Q

What do LA drugs do

A

Reversible block sodium channel hodgkins cycle

Pass through axon membrane and bind to sodium channel from inside nerve

Don’t work well with infection present

Q

To anaesthetise the incisors/canines what has to be taken into consideration

A

Dental branches of anterior superior alveolar nerves which supply th teeth and gingival branches supply labial gingivae

Incisive branch of nasopalatine nerve which supply palatal gingivae

Q

How is labial/buccal infiltration given maxillary

A

Into labial/buccal sulcus - alveolar mucosa which is flexible
Aim for the apex of the tooth
Result pulpal anasthesia - dental branches
Labial/buccal anaesthesia - gingival branches

16
Q

How is maxillary palatal infiltration given

A

Into palatal mucoperiosteum

Pain as increase in pressure

17
Q

Where are mandibular appropriate

A

Infiltration a only appropriate for anterior region

18
Q

Why is posterior infiltration of man idle not good

A

Bone too dense for la to reach posterior teeth apices

19
Q

What block techniques are used to overcome post mand issue

A
Block 
Inf alveolar nerve 
Lingual 
Long buccal 
Mental and incisive
20
Q

What are the borders of the infratemporal/pterygomandibular fossa

A
Lateral - ramus 
Medial - medial ptery muscle 
Post - parotid with facial nerve 
Anterior - Buccinator
Superior - lateral ptery
21
Q

What are the landmarks for inferior alveolar nevre block

A

Retromolar triangle
Pterygomandibular raphe
Coronoid notch of ramus
Opposing premolars

22
Q

Explain mental/incisive nerve block

A

Deposit la beside mental foramen
Anaesthetise mental nerve - soft tissues - lip, labial mucosa and gingivae

Incisive nerve - anterior teeth

23
Q

What is the dental innervation of 3-3 anterior teeth

A

Anterior superior alveolar nerve

24
Q

What supplies the premolars and the mesio buccal root of the first molar

A

Middle superior alveolar nerve

25
Q

What nerve supplies the molars

A

Posterior superior alveolar nerve

26
Q

What is the innervation of the lower teeth

A

3-3 anterior - incisive nerve

The remianpder of the teeth inferior alveolar
Same nevre just undergoes name change

27
Q

What is the nerve innervation of the hard palate

A

Anterior - incisive branch of nasopalatine nerve
Middle - greater palatine nerve
Posterior - lesser palatine nerve

28
Q

What supplies the floor of the moth

A

Lingual nerve

29
Q

What supplies the surround mucosa of tooth

A

Upper anterior - intra orbital nerve

Lower anterior - mental nerve

The rest - long buccal nerve

30
Q

What areas are anaesthetised

A
Teeth 
Gingivae - labial, buccal, lingual, palatal 
Alveolar mucosa
Labial mucosa 
Buccal mucosa
Lingual mucosa
Floor of mouth 
Hard palate
