mandibular anesthesia Flashcards
does lip numbness indicate pulpal anesthesia
not really
do soft tissue sticks indicate pulpal anesthesia
no
electric pulp test readings less than ____ resulted in pain during restorative procedures
less than 80
anything higher than an 80 indicated pulpal anesthesia
rank from most successful to least successful pulpal anesthesia via IAN block with 1 carp lido: lateral incisor, first premolar, first molar
first premolar (60%) first molar (55%) lateral incisor (30%)
is anesthetic failure in incisors and molars the same?
no
what tooth is most likely to have anesthetic failure after IAN block?
lateral incisor (32%) first molar (17%) first premolar (11%)
slow onset of anesthesia in mandibular teeth occurs ______% of the time
19-27%
what percentage of mandibular teeth won’t have anesthetic onset until 30-50 mins later
8%
t/f: duration of pulpal anesthesia in mandibular teeth is very good for patients who initially achieve anesthesia
T
t/f: it doesn’t matter if you have had previous difficulty with getting numb
false
will plain mepivicaine/prilocaine work for an IAN block?
yep
t/f: 3% mepivicaine with NO epi is as effective as regular lido with 1:100k epi in IAN block
true
bupivicaine w/ 1:200k epi (marcaine) has a slower or faster onset than lidocaine w/ 1:100k epi
SLOWER

2.5 hrs
how long can you expect pulpal anesthesia with bupivacaine (marcaine)
4 hrs
which lasts longer: lidocaine or marcaine
marcaine

no
success rate for lidocaine vs articaine in irreversible pulpits
basically the same, 24%
