Q

Types of L.A injection

A
  1. Local infiltration: Deposition of L.A near the small terminal nerve
    endings.
  2. Field block: Deposition of L.A near the larger terminal nerve branches. ( although common usage identifies
    them as infiltration or supraperiosteal).
  3. Nerve block: L.A is deposited close to a main nerve trunk,
    usually at a distance from the site of operative area. E.g. Inferior alveolar nerve block.

58
Q

Indication of PDL injection

A
  1. Pulpal anesthesia of one or two teeth in a quadrant.
  2. Treatment of isolated teeth in 2 mandibular quadrants.
  3. Patients for whom residual soft-tissue anesthesia is undesirable.
  4. Situations in which regional block anesthesia is contraindicated.
59
Q

Contraindications of PDL injection

A
  1. Infection or inflammation at the site of injection.
  2. Primary teeth, when the permanent tooth bud is present.
    a. Enamel hypoplasia has been reported to occur in a developing permanent tooth when a PDL injection was administered to the primary tooth above it.
    b. There appears to be little reason for use of PDL technique in primary teeth because infiltration anesthesia and the incisive nerve block are effective.
  3. Patient who requires a “numb” sensation for psychological comfort.
60
Q

Advantages of PDL Injections

A
  1. Prevents anesthesia of the lip, tongue, and other soft
    tissues, thus facilitating treatment in multiple quadrants
    during a single appointment.
  2. Minimum dose of local anesthetic necessary to achieve
    anesthesia (0.2 ml per root).
  3. An alternative to partially successful regional nerve block
    anesthesia.
61
Q

Disadvantages of PDL Injections

A
  1. A special syringe may be necessary.
  2. Excessive pressure can produce focal tissue damage.
  3. Post injection discomfort may persist for several days.
  4. The potential for extrusion of a tooth exists if excessive
    pressure or volumes are used.
62
Q

PDL Injection Technique

A

Procedure
– Stabilize the syringe along the long axis of the root to be anesthetized
– With the bevel of needle on the root, advance the needle apically until
resistance is met.
– Deposit 0.2 ml of local anesthetic solution in a minimum of 20 sec.
– If tooth is multi-rooted, remove the needle and repeat the procedure on
the other roots

63
Q

What to do in case of Failures of PDL Injection

A

Infected or inflamed tissues. In this case, remove the needle and reenter at a different site until 0.2ml of local anesthetic is deposited and retained in the tissues. Each root must be anesthetized with 0.2 ml of solution.

69
Q

Intraosseous Injection Technique

A

1) Perforate 2 mm apical to the intersection of lines drawn
horizontally along the gingival margins of the teeth and a

A

when pain control is necessary for
pulpal extirpation or other endodontic treatment the absence of adequate anesthesia from other techniques.
