LA other Flashcards
what causes the most pain during palatal anaesthesia administration
squeezing liquid into small tight space rather than actual injection
chasing anaesthesia
give buccal infiltration first then intraligamental then palatal
very effective but very time consuming
intraligamental anaesthesia
need to ensure bevel is in PDL space
painful due to very small space and significant force required
intraosseous injection
instrument added onto slow speed to cut through gum and bone creating channel for needle
invasive and excellent anatomy knowledge required
topical jet injector
pressurized air instead of needle
very noisy and risk of soft tissue damage
wand
looks less scary so good for paeds
foot pedal that releases LA at optimum pressure therefore less pain
