Q

bone contact with IANB?

A

want to make sure we do not go too deep and into parotid bed– so if no contact likely had overinsertion and so you need to RETRACT AND REPOSITION LATERALLY

24
Q

incisive nerve block - explain general

A

Terminal branch of the IAN

Travels in the incisve canal as a terminal branch of the IAN

(always anaesthetized with a successful IANB) – but this technique will not anesthetize the lingual soft tissue

25
Q

incisive nerve block contraindication

A

infection or acute inflammation in the area of injection

26
Q

advantages of the incisive nerve block

A

provides pulpal anesthesia without lingual anesethsia (could also be seen as a disadvanatge)

27
Q

after successful IAN block - make your soft tissue incision and the patient feels pain, what happened?

A

forgot to anesthetize the long buccal nerve

28
Q

what do you have to give with an IAN block when taking out a 3rd molar?

A

LONG BUCCAL NERVE BLOCK

- soft tissues and periosteium buccal tot he mandibular molar teeth

29
Q

areas anesthetized with a buccal nerve block? what type is this? when is it used?

A

usually with a IANB when taking out 3rd molars

is soft tissue – basically up to first molar

soft tissues and periosteium buccal tot he mandibular molar teeth

30
Q

indications for a buccal nerve block?

A

when buccal soft tissue anesthesia is required for dental procedures in the mandibular molar region

31
Q

contraindications for buccal nerve block

A

infection or acute inflammation in the area of injection

32
Q

advantages to buccal nerve block

A

high success rate

technically easier

33
Q

disadvantages for buccal nerve block

A

potential for pain if the needle contacts the periosteum

34
Q

which is a ‘true’ mandibular nerve block?

A

Gow-gates

35
Q

nerves anesthetized in a gow-gates block?

A

7 total

  1. inferior alveolar
  2. lingual
  3. mylohyoid
  4. mental
  5. incisive
  6. auriculotemporal
  7. buccal (in 75% of pt’s)
36
Q

indications for gow-gates

A

similar to the IAN

  • need multiple procedures on mandibular teeth
  • conventional inferior alveolar nerve block is unsuccessful
  • lingual soft tissue anesthetic is needed
  • buccal soft tissue anesthesia needed from the third molar to the midline
37
Q

difference in areas anesthetized with IANB vs. Gow gates

A

skin over the zygoma, posterior portion of the cheek, and temporal region can be anesthetized in the gow-gates method via the auriculotemporal nerve **

38
Q

landmarks for Gow-gates

A
  1. mucous membrane on mesial of the ramus
  2. line from the intertragic notch to the corner of the mouth
  3. target area = condylar neck just below the insertion of the lateral pterygoid muscle
  4. height = just below the maxillary ML cusp of the 2nd molar
  5. site = penetrate just distal to the maxillary 2nd molar
39
Q

area of insertion for gow-gates

A

mucous membrane on mesial of the ramus

40
Q

target area for gow-gates

A

condylar neck just below the insertion of the lateral pterygoid muscle

41
Q

site of pentration in gow-gates

A

just distal to the maxillary 2nd molar

42
Q

contraindications for gow-gates

A
  1. infection or acute inflammation in the area of injection
  2. patients who might bite their lip or tongue
  3. patietns who are unable to open their mouth wide
43
Q

advantages of gow-gate

A

requires only one injection (vs. IANB with the long buccal)

- provides succesful anesthesia where a bifid IAN and bifid manibular canals are present

44
Q

epidural hematoma from what?

A

tearing middle meningeal artery if fracture the pterion of skull

45
Q

how could solution gain access to the cavernous sinus?

A

with reference to Gow-gates block
origins of the middle meningeal and inferior alveolar arteris are in close porximity to each other
-so by way of the arterial system, solution may gain access to the cavernous sinus

*** middle meningeal and inferior alveolar aeteries – so by way of arterial system if the LA soliution gets into these arteries

46
Q

temporary paralysis of CN III, IV, VI?

A

with reference to Gow-gates block
origins of the middle meningeal and inferior alveolar arteris are in close porximity to each other
-so by way of the arterial system, solution may gain access to the cavernous sinus

47
Q

complications of Goq-gates

A

hematoma
trismus - rate
temporary paralysis of CN III, IV, VI

48
Q

a pt. cannot open their mouth - which local anesthetic technique would you perform?

A

Vazirani-akinosi closed mouth block

49
Q

Vazirani-akinosi block - which nerves anesthetized?

A
Inferior alveolar 
incisive 
mental
lingual
mylohyoid
50
Q

areas anesthetized with Vazirani-akinosi closed mouth block

A

mandibular teeth to midline

body of the mandible and inferior portion of the ramus

buccal mucoperiosteum and mucous membrane in front of the mental foramen

anterior 2/3 of the tongue an the floor of the mouth

lingual soft tissue and periosteum

51
Q

indications to perform Vazirani-akinosi closed mouth block

A
  1. limited ability in mandibualr opening

2 .inability to visualize the IANB landmarks

52
