Local Anesthesia Flashcards
name the 4 amides
give the fact for each and the other name it is called
- lidocaine / xylocaine –> safe, widely available
- mepivicaine /carbocaine —> least vasodilation
- bupivacaine / marcaine —> carpules not recommended in children - longest duration
- articaine (septocaine) –> shortest duration
* has one ester chain
where are amides metabolized
liver
which has least vasodilation
mepivicaine aka carbocaine
longest duration?
implication
bupivacaine (marcaine)
.5% bupivicaine w/ 1:200,000 epi
*so not recommended in children
which class ester vs amide is more likely to cause allergic and why
esters
*more toxic , more known allergies because of methylparaben
ester metabolism?
by plasma pseudocholinesterase
name 4 esters
- procaine
- cocaine
- tetracaine
- benzocaine
red carpule
lidocaine
2% with epi 1:100,000

landmarks for IAN
- pterygomandibular raphe (posterior border of mandible)
- coronoid notch (anterior border of mandible)
- occlusal plane of lower teeth
lingual nerve block vs IAN block ***
lingual nerve block anesthetizes the lingual soft tissues associated with all teeth in the quadrant and the anterior 2/3 of the hemi-tongue on the side of the block
The IAN ONLY anesthetizes the teeth and bone from central incisor to the third molar and the soft tissues from the central incisor to the BICUSPID ON THE BUCALL SIDE
the IAN does NOT innervate lingual soft tissues and so the block does not anesthetize any soft tissues
