22
Q

To what extent should you advance the needle?

A

Advance until bone is felt
Then withdraw slightly
Aspirate
Then deposit 2mL of LA

23
Q

What diagnostic feature can tell you that the IAN block was successful?

A

Fast anesthesia of the lower lip and lateral aspect of the tongue
Tingling feeling

24
Q

What must be incorporated with an IAN block?

A

Buccal infiltration of the long buccal nerve

25
Q

Explain the Gow-Gates technique?

A

All sensory nerves v3

Extra-oral landmarks

26
Q

Explain the Vazirani-Akinosi technique?

A

Closed mouth approach
Good for trismus
Difficult to visual path of entry
No bony contact

27
Q

Explain how the incisive and mental nerve block works?

A

Depositing LA into the mental foramen (found between the apices of the first and second premolar)
Enters the foramen and blocks the incisive nerve to the premolar and the anterior mandibular teeths and soft tissues

28
Q

Where is the mental foramen found?

A

Between the apices of the first and second premolar

29
Q

What is the incisive and mental nerve block indicated for?

A

Multiple anterior teeth

30
Q

Explain the technique for incisive and mental block/

A

Patient mouth party open
Insert needed at 1st and 2nd premolar
Aim for bone
Once contacted bone, withdraw, aspirate and deposit 1.5mLs slowly

31
Q

What is anaesthetised when performing a supraperiosteal injection?

A

Pulpal anaesthesia in all maxillary upper teeth
If using articaine also mandibular premolars and molars
Excellent soft tissue anaesthesia
Multiple teeth require multiple injections

32
Q

What needle size and gauge for a infiltration?

A

Short needle

27 or 30 gauge

33
Q

How should you position and manipulate the patient to allow a successful infiltration?

A

Semi recumbent or fully back
Advise patient about to commence
Pull tissues taut
Target apex of tooth

34
Q

What are the landmarks for an infiltration?

A

Mucobuccal fold
Crown of tooth
Root contour

35
Q

Explain the technique used during an infiltration? and what not to do?

A 
Orient needle so bevel faces bone
Insert needle into mucobuccal fold over target tooth at 45 degree angle
Advance until bevel is above apex
Stabilise needle with finger stop
Don't advance until bone is hit
Don't inject into frenum
Deposit drops of LA
Aspirate
Deposit 1/2 cartridge over 30s
36
Q

Which injection method is best for the upper jaw? and why?

A

Infiltration

Outer bone covering the maxillary teeth is thin

37
Q

What innervates the upper incisors, buccal gingiva and canines?

A

Anterior superior alveolar nerve

38
Q

What innervates the palatal gingiva?

A

Nasopalatine nerve

39
Q

Where to aim for when anaesthetising the upper incisors and canines?

A

Near or into the buccal fold, towards the apex of the tooth

Slow injection of 1-2mLs

40
Q

What innervates the upper premolars?

A

Middle and posterior superior alveolar nerve

41
Q

What innervates the palatine soft tissue near the premolar?

A

Greater palatine

but anastomosis via the nasopalatine

42
Q

What makes the maxillary molars difficult to anaesthetise? and its solution?

A

Achieving close proximity with the root apices of the 6s
Zygomatic arch can be obstructive
2 infiltrations mesially and distally to the 6s

43
Q

What innervates the maxillary molars and buccal gingiva?

A

Posterior superior alveolar nerve

44
Q

What innervates the palatal soft tissue near the molars?

A

Greater palatine nerve

45
Q

When injecting into the palate, what must you always avoid?

A

Never inject posterior to the vibrating line
Avoid rugae
Avoid foramen

46
Q

Explain the process of performing a palatal injection?

A

Uncomfortable
Apply pressure to the target before injection
Used AFTER buccal infiltration
Aim for an equidistant point between median raphe and the gingival margin of target tooth
Inject slowly small amounts
Blanching indicates successful anaesthesia

47
Q

What is the technique for an alternative to palatal injection?

A

Palatal infiltration via the buccal papilla

Needle introduced at 90 degrees into papilla and advanced into the palatal mucosa

48
Q

What stops simple infiltration of the lower premolars and molars? but what could work?

A

Covered by a thick compact lamina, stopping diffusion

4% articaine with 1:100,000 ADR

49
Q

What innervates the lower incisors and canines? and what technique can be used?

A

Incisive nerve
Infiltration technique
Anastomosis - innervation across midline

50
Q

Explain the infiltration technique for the lower incisors and canines?

A

Tip of needle must be closely angled to the apex, to stop solution escape
For canines a mental block may need to be administered

51
Q

Explain the supplementary lingual nerve injection process?

A

Infiltration under the attached gingiva on lingual aspect
Interpapillary injection
Small amount of LA required

52
Q

Explain the buccal infiltration process prior to the IAN block?

A

Depositing solution in the buccal tissues just distally to the tooth of interest

53
Q

Explain the interpapillary injection process?

A 
Insert needle to the centre of papilla near the crest bone
Small amount slowly injected
Blanching confirms analgesia
Following infiltration injection
Ultra small needle
54
Q

Explain the aspiration technique?

A

Insert needle
Aspirate by pulling back plunger, check for blood, if +ve reposition needle
if -ve proceed to inject LA
