Q

Why is an IAN first molar success rate (51-75%) higher than IAN central incisor success rate (10-50%)?

A

Central core theory. Posterior teeth served by nerves on the outer mantle. More anterior teeth have innervations from the interior core bundle.

Q

What indicates a lack of anesthesia on a tooth with IP that has been anesthetized?

A
  1. Positive cold response

2. Less than 80/80 EPT

22
Q

Does a negative cold response or 80/80 EPT always indicate profound anesthesia on a tooth with irreversible pulpits?

A

Not always

23
Q

What can be done to aide in getting profound anesthesia on a tooth with irreversible pulpits?

A

Supplemental injections

24
Q

What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars?

A

51%

25
Q

What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars supplemented with local infiltration with 4% articaine with 1:100k eli?

A

88%

26
Q

What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars with irreversible pulpits supplemented with local infiltration with 4% aticaine with 1:100K epi?

A

58%

27
Q

Does IAN supplementation with local infiltration of 4% articaine give predictable results?

A

No

28
Q

What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars supplemented with local infiltration of 2% Lidocaine with 1:100K eli?

A

71%

29
Q

Nuzum found what anesthesia and technique achieved 98% anesthesia success in the healthy pulps of Mandibular anteriors?

A

Labial and lingual infiltrations of mandibular anteriors with 4% articaine with 1:100K epi

30
Q

What are the only teeth anesthetized by incisive nerve blocks?

A

Premolars, not incisors

31
Q

What is the success rate of intraosseous anesthesia with 2% lidocaine with 1:100K eli?

A

91%

32
Q

What is the success rate of intraossesous anesthesia

A

80% (98% with 3.6 mL)

33
Q

What is the success rate of intraosseous anesthesia with 4% Articaine with 1:100K eli?

A

86%

34
Q

What are side effects of intraosseous injections?

A

Large uptake causes systemic effect of increased heart rate that is transient (avoid by using 3% Mepivicaine plain)

35
Q

Where is the location for a Stabident intraosseous injection site?

A

Attached gingiva so can locate hole

36
Q

What are ideal areas to do intraosseous injections?

A

Distal to the tooth working on

37
Q

What indication is there that you have perforated the cortical plate and are int he trabecular bone where you desire to give the intraosseous injection?

A

Feel al little back pressure

38
Q

What is the major difference of the X-tip system and the Stabident?

A

X-tip can be done in unattached gingiva because it leaves a guide into the bone giving a repeatable injection port

39
Q

What is the best option for achieving profound anesthesia on a tooth with irreversible pulpits?

A

Supplemental intraosseous injection

40
Q

What are 2 ways to increase maxillary anesthesia efficacy?

A
  1. Use an agent with a vasoconstrictor

2. Use 2 carpules (3.6mg) 2% Lido 1:100K epi

41
Q

The use of 2 carpules as well as a vasoconstrictor do what to aide anesthesia: increase amount of anesthesia or increase duration of anesthesia?

A

Duration

42
Q

Of the maxillary teeth, which are the only ones that respond better to articaine than lidocaine?

A

Lateral incisors only

43
Q

Does a V2 block work for the maxillary premolars and maxillary anteriors?

A

No only for molars

44
Q

Does the infraorbital block work for anesthesia of the maxillary anteriors?

A

No. Only for molars.

45
Q

Does the infraorbital block work for anesthesia of the maxillary incisors?

A

No

46
Q

Will a PSA work for a 1st molar?

A

No, only for 2nd molar

47
Q

A

12%

48
Q

What anesthetic technique works best for necrotic teeth?

A

Block anesthesia if possible

49
Q

Should you inject into a swelling or around it?

A

Around it

50
Q

Is supplemental intraosseous injection indicated for a necrotic tooth?

A

No
