Local Anesthetic Technique Flashcards
MSA nerve in V2 is present —% of time
28%
ASA of V2 provides pulpal innervation to
central and lateral incisors
canine
PDL, buccal bone, mucous membrane of teeth
3 major types of local anesthesia
- local infiltration
- field block
- nerve block
where is the foramen rotundum?
pterygopalatine fossa
landmark for posterior superior alveolar nerve block
- mucogingival sulcus
- maxillary tuberosity
- zygomatic process of maxilla
*insert needle at height of vestibule (16 mm depth)
PSA nerve block anesthetizes what?
maxillary molar tooth pulps
mesiobuccal root of 1st molar in 72%
buccal periodontium and bone
advantages of PSA nerve block
- atraumatic
- success rate >95%
- minimal volume of anesthetic
PSA nerve block disadvantages
- disfiguring hematoma risk
- mesiobuccal root of 1st molar missed in 28%
- aspiration rate about 3%
MSA anesthetizes what area
alveolar mucous membrane of premolars
mesiobuccal root of first molar 28% of time
buccal periodontium and bone
MSA nerve block landmark
- depth of mucogingival sulcus above the maxillary second premolar
- inject above premolar apices
anterior superior alveolar nerve areas anesthetized
through infraorbital nerve foramen
- maxillary central through canine
- premolars
- mesiobuccal root of first molar in 28% of patients
- buccal periodontium and bone
- lower eyelid, side of nose, upper lip
indications of ASA nerve block
- procedures on two or more teeth
- inflammation or infection
- dense cortical bone making supraperiosteal injections ineffective
maxillary labial bone is —
porous
supraperiosteal injection indications
- procedures on one tooth
- soft tissue surgery in small area
advantages of local infiltration
simple
high success rate
disadvantages of local infiltration
not as useful in setting of abscess
slightly more volume needed to treat multiple teeth
in order to do a greater palatine nerve block, you have to —
contact bone
landmarks of greater palatine nerve block
- greater palatine foramen
- junction of maxillary alveolar process and palatine bone adjacent to the maxillary first molar
areas anesthetized by greater palatine nerve block
- posterior portion of hard palate
- overlying soft tissues
- no anesthesia of teeth
greater palatine nerve block indications
- when palatal soft tissue anesthesia is needed –extractions, subgingival rest
- putting on rubber dam for restoration
