Dental Meds/LA Test 1 Flashcards
What is the largest/thickest cranial nerve?
Trigeminal (V)
The trigeminal nerve provides the majority of ? innervation of the teeth, bone, and soft tissue.
sensory
What are the two roots that the trigeminal nerve are composed of?
small motor root and large sensory root
pulpal anesthesia
from the inside out
infiltration/local anesthesia
surrounding soft tissue
What branch/division of the trigeminal nerve is sensory from muscles of forehead?
V1- Opthalmic
What branch/division of the trigeminal nerve is sensory from lower eyelids, zygoma, and upper lip?
V2- Maxillary
What branch/division of the trigeminal nerve is sensory from lateral scalp, skin anterior to ears, lower cheeks, lower lips, and anterior aspect of mandible?
V3- Mandibular
What branch/division of the trigeminal nerve is both sensory and motor?
V3- Mandibular
What branch/division of the trigeminal nerve is motor to muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoid, tensor veli palatine, and tensor tympani)
V3- Mandibular
Sensory root (3 branches) supplies the skin of the entire face and oral cavity except for what?
pharynx and base of tongue
Muscles of mastication
Masseter, temporalis, medial and lateral pterygoid
Motor root innervates
muscles of mastication, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric, Tensor (tympani, veli palatini)
What do the tensor muscles do?
pick up uvula and help you swallow
V1 exits where?
superior orbital fissure
V2 exits where?
foramen rotundum
V3 exits where?
foramen ovale (largest one)
What innervation? Skin (middle portion of face, lower eyelid, side of nose, upper lip) mucous membrane (nasopharynx, maxillary sinus, soft palate, hard palate, tonsil) , maxillary teeth and periodontal tissues.
V2- maxillary
V2 branches…pterygopalatine fossa
Nasopalatine nerve
Greater palatine nerve
Posterior superior alveolar nerve (PSA)
V2 branches…infraorbital canal
Middle superior alveolar nerve (MSA)
Anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASA)
infiltrations
right above tooth you want numb…one thing
PSA, MSA, ASA
nerve blocks…up higher
What innervation? Skin (temporal region, auricula, external auditory meatus, cheek, lower lip. chin region) Mucous membrane (cheek, tongue-anterior 2/3, mastoid cells) mandibular teeth and periodontal tissues, bone of mandible, TMJ, parotid gland (facial nerve runs thru)
V3 mandibular
IA injection..what nerves…posterior branch
lingual nerve, inferior alveolar nerve (mental and incisive), mylohyoid nerve
numbness happens from injection site where?
forward
osteology/properties of maxilla
cancellous bone - more porous, some areas paper thin, more vascularity…infiltrations work well
osteology/properties of mandible
largest/strongest bone, dense cortical bone
Inferior alveolar nerve enters where?
mandibular foramen
Height of mandibular foramen
about 1-19mm above level of occlusal plane
Types of non-disposable syringes
breech loading, metallic, cartridge-carpule type (aspirating or non-aspirating) and pressure type
Most common syringe used
breech loading, metallic, cartridge type - aspirating
silicone rubber stopper…aka
bung
positive pressure
applied to thumb ring, forces local anesthesia into needle lumen and into tissue
negative pressure
blood enters cartridge if needle tip is in lumen of vessel (aspiration test)
Aspirating syringe metallic: advantages
visible cartridge, aspiration with one hand, autoclavable, rust resistant, long lasting
Aspirating syringe metallic: disadvantages
weight (heavier than plastic), syringe is large, possibility of infection with improper care
MIltex petite syringe
reduced thumb ring, flared base on ring handle, shortened harpoon rod, wider wings
Pressure syringes
introduced 1970’s, pulpal anesthesia-isolated tooth mandibular arch…PDL, ILI
Plastic reusable aspirating syringe: advantages
kinder looking, lightweight, cartridge visible, easy to aspirate, rust resistant, long lasting, lower cost
Plastic reusable aspirating syringe: disadvantages
size may be too large for small hands, possibility of infection with improper care, deterioration of plastic with repeated autoclaving
Metallic self aspirating syringe: advantages
cartridge visible, easier to aspirate with small hands, autoclavable, rust resistant, long lasting, PISTON scored to indicate volume of LA administered
