Q

Where is the needle inserted for an IANB?

A

Through the mucosa in the mandibular retro-molar region lateral to the pterygomandibular raphe, midway between the raphe and the anterior border of the ascending ramus of the mandible, aiming for a point halfway between the operator’s thumb and index finger
About 5mm above the mandibular occlusal plane

Q

How far is the needle inserted for an IANB?

A

Until the medial border of the mandible is reached

Once bone has been touched, the needle is withdrawn slightly until it is supra-periosteal

17
Q

How much local anaesthetic is deposited in an IANB?

A

1.5ml, then withdraw halfway and deposit the remaining 0.5ml

18
Q

How is the lingual nerve anaesthetised in an IANB?

A

By withdrawing the needle halfway, aspirating again and depositing most of the remaining solution

19
Q

A

buccal infiltration

20
Q

if you are aiming to anaesthetise the maxillary teeth buccal ginigivae, what LA technique would be used?

A

buccal infiltration

21
Q

23
Q

when would a mental nerve block techique be used?

A

24
Q

what LA technique is used to provide anaesthesia to the lower canine and incisors pulp?

A
