Maxillary nerve block desensitizes which structures?
Easley Texbook, ch 23
Ipsilateral maxillary teeth and gingiva, soft tissues rostral to infraorbital foramen, and nasal vestibule
+/- lacrimal nerve → lubricate ipsilateral eye every 30 minutes during procedure
The infraorbital nerve block desensitizes which structures?
Easley Texbook, ch 23
Ipsilateral maxillary teeth and gingiva, soft tissues rostral to infraorbital foramen, and nasal vestibule

Easley Textbook, ch 23
ipsilateral alveolar mucosa, incisors and canine teeth, and labial mucosa, skin, and gingiva rostral to mental foramen
Mental nerve block desensitizes only the ipsilateral lower lip

retrobulbar hematoma, decreased lacrimation of ipsilateral eye
What are some nerve block complications for the infraorbital nerve block?
Easley Textbook, ch 23
puncture of adjacent blood vessels, abscess
What are some nerve block complications for the inferior alveolar nerve block?
