23
Q

___ is more successful to use for buccal infiltration

Esters = (Novacaine, Procaine) more side effects, higher
probability of allergic reaction, no longer in favor or
commonly available in U.S.

A

Esters

25
Q

____ LA type:
= all the rest, available & preferred.
• Duration:
– Short ( < 60 min.) 3% Mepivacaine (Carbocaine®)
– Medium (60-120 min.) Lidocaine, Articaine
– Long (> 120 min.) 0.5% Bupivacaine w/ 1:200,000 epi. (Marcaine®)
(probably is LEAST profound LA»Gross, R etal ….Double Blind comp
of Bupivicaine/Lido ….JOE, Sep ’07 33(9)pp1021-4)
• Vasoconstrictor (None, 1:200,000, 1: 100,000, 1:50,000)
• Aspirate (REPEATEDLY) to AVOID INTRA-VASCULAR injection*

A

– Amides

26
Q

What technique was mentioned to give another IA block option?

A

Gow-Gates

27
Q

If IA and buccal infiltration don’t accomplish full anesthesia, what is the next option to anesthetize?

A

PDL injections

28
Q 
FIRST CHOICE: IF regional block or 
infiltration prove insufficient . . . 
THE INTENT: to FORCE anesthetic 
solution down along the PDL and 
through the cribriform plate to reach 
apical neural elements in the 
medullary space . . .
Wedge needle as deeply into PDL as 
possible. Start at DB. Warn patient of  
pain at injection.
Use @% Lidocaine w/ 1:100,000 epi.
Duration of  anesthesia = 15-30 min. only 
(get the pulp OUT ASAP) No Waiting
-Can use ligajet
-Must have back pressure
-Inject at 4 line angles
A

PDL ligament injections

29
Q

Last choice– (painful and ultra short acting but immediate relief)

a. Use 30 gauge needle (#25 file) wedged as far in canal as possible.
b. Must bind tightly in canal
c. Warn patient –Injection Must hurt –twice . . . Most painful of injections
d. Duration: minutes only (extirpation only –will not last for shaping or obturation) get pulp out NOW
e. Do NOT count on repeating this injection
f. Do distal canal of lower molar first

A

Intrapulpal injections

30
Q

When is it acceptable to inject into swelling tissue?

A

NEVER

31
Q

_____ swelling is pointing
and may soon drain spontaneously. The patient
is probably not running a fever and is able to
open fully. Acceptable to infiltrate apically and
laterally or do infra-orbital block or both.
Debride the pulpal spaces and consider Incise
& Drain.

A

Localized swelling

32
Q 
\_\_\_\_ swelling:
Patient here is seriously ill, running a 
fever and probably cannot open her 
mouth sufficiently to debride pulpal 
spaces. I&D, drain & antibiotics may 
need to precede Pulpal Extirpation.
A

Generalized swelling/cellulitis

33
Q 
\_\_\_\_\_ of  a 
Cellulitis such as 
this is a very 
serious, life-saving 
procedure best 
accomplished in 
the hospital under 
the supervision of  
an oral surgeon or 
MD. The FIRST 
thing to do here is 
REFER *   I.V. 
Antibiotics + I&D 
will follow
Either the tooth is 
removed or the pulp 
extirpated as soon 
as patient is 
stabilized and  able 
to open the mouth.
This patient has a 
life threatening 
infection requiring 
immediate care.
Sub-lingual, Sub-
Mental, Sub-
mandibular Spaces
A

Drainage

34
Q

Local anesthetics cause _____ interruption of the
conduction of impulses in peripheral nerves by causing a
local decrease in the rate and degree of depolarization of the
nerve membrane such that the threshold potential for
transmission is not reached when everything goes well.

A

reversible

35
Q

These effects are due to blockade of _____ channels,
thereby impairing ion flux across the membrane
resulting in disruption of impulse conduction.

A

Na channels

36
Q

Most local anesthetic agents are tertiary amine bases that are
administered as water soluble hydrochlorides . After injection, the
tertiary amine base is liberated by the relatively _____ pH of normal
tissue fluids:

A

alkaline

37
Q

In tissue fluid the local anesthetic will be present in both an ionized and
non-ionized form ; their relative proportions depend on the ___ in the
area*

A

pH

38
Q

Only the _____ base then diffuses through the nerve sheath, peri-
neuronal tissues and the neuronal membrane, to reach the axoplasm.

A

non-ionized

39
Q

Most common LA
– Safe & Effective Drug. Derivative of Xylidine (1.7ml/carpule)
– Each carp. contains 34 mg. of anesthetic.
– Max. safe adult dosage = 8 carpules (272 mg.)
– Detoxified primarily in LIVER (beware severe LIVER disease)
– No solution proven to be superior for pulpal anesthesia
– Not contraindicated in patients with heart disease (monitor
closely)
– Not contraindicated in pregnant women (after 1st trimester)
– Not contraindicated in nursing mothers
– Because of epinephrine content, should not be routinely used
in patients on MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants.
Probably best choice for routine RCT at UMKC

A

2% Lidocaine with 1:100,000 epi. (Xylocaine®)

40
Q

Most controversial
(Septocaine®)
– Safe & Effective Drug. Contains both amide and ester linkage
– Each carp. contains 68 mg. of anesthetic.(twice as toxic as
Lidocaine)
– maximum safe adult dosage = 4 carpules (272 mg.)
– Also contains a unique Sulfur molecule (Sulfur allergy
problems?)
– Mel Hawkins, U/Toronto says no as S molecule is bound.
– Reputation of providing superior anesthetic effect (NOT
proven)
– Potential to cause neuropathies: paresthesia rare but 5
times as likely as with lidocaine or mepivicaine. Lawyers
know this! Be Safe! Avoid N. Blocks with Articaine*
– No known incident at UMKC in past decade.
– Drug interactions with MAO inhibitors, tricyclic
antidepressants and phenothiazides.

A

• 4% Articaine with 1:200,000 epi.

41
Q

Delays systemic absorption which increases the
duration AND increases the effectiveness of the LA. Also
retards bleeding (surgery).

A

Epi

42
Q

T/F: You must get your pt. “numb” or abort the

procedure.

A

True

43
Q

However, if after ___-____ carps, pt. still isn’t “numb”, seriously
consider re-scheduling with sedation

A

3-4 carps

44
Q

What are the 4 Solutions to hot maxillary tooth?

A

PSA
2nd Div Block
Infraorbital block
Palatal block

45
Q

What is the solution for hot. max tooth?
