Q

vehicle that permits local anesthetic solution to travel from the dental cartridge into the tissues surrounding the needle tip

A

NEEDLE

32
Q

stainless steel and disposable

A

NEEDLE

33
Q

represent the most fear-inducing component of the local
anesthetic armamentarium

A

NEEDLE

34
Q

Fear of needles is termed as.

A

trypanophobia

35
Q

weakest part of the needle

A

hub

36
Q

the point or tip of the needle

A

BEVEL

37
Q

provide a cutting surface allowing the needle to penetrate
mucosa with as little resistance as possible

A

BEVEL

38
Q

KINDS OF BEVELS [5]

A

→ short
→ medium
→ long
→ multi-beveled
→ scalpel

39
Q

produces the most effective puncture while eliciting the least amount of trauma

A

multi-beveled

40
Q

allows needle insertion with less tissue displacement, thus
requiring less force to penetrate the mucosa

A

scalpel

41
Q

recommended for infiltration and periodontal ligament
(PDL) injections

A

scalpel

42
Q

not recommended for nerve blocks where the nerve may be
directly contacted

A

scalpel

43
Q

T/ F

The greater the angle of the bevel with the long axis of the needle, the greater will be the degree of deflection as the needle passes through hydrocolloid (or the soft tissues of the mouth). A needle tip centered on the long axis will deflect to a lesser extent than a beveled-point needle, whose point is eccentrically situated

A

T

44
Q

refers to the diameter of the lumen of the needle

GAUGE

45
Q

A

HUB

47
Q

HUB

48
Q

extends through the needle adaptor and perforates the diaphragm of the local anesthetic cartridge

A

CARTRIDGE-PENETRATING END

49
Q

technique in which the operator rotates the handpiece or needle in a back-and-forth rotational movement while advancing the needle through the soft tissue

A

BIROTATIONAL INSERTION TECHNIQUE (BRIT)

50
Q

deflection of the needle as it passes through soft tissue is a consideration when a needle must penetrate a greater thickness of soft tissue

A
