Q

how is the bevel positioned in a GP nerve block

A

laterally towards the soft tissue

47
Q

how much of the carpule is administered in a GP nerve block

A

1/4 carpule (0.25 cc) or until the tissue blanches

48
Q

what teeth are innervated by the NP nerve

A

NONE

49
Q

what tissues are innervated by the NP nerve

A
  • palatal soft tissue and bone anterior to the portion of the hard palate from distal of one canine to the distal of the other canine
50
Q

what is the nasopalatine nerve block also called

A

incisive nerve block

51
Q

what is the target area of the NP nerve block

A

incisive foramen

51
Q

where is penetration of the mucosa in NP nerve block

A
  • just lateral to the incisive papilla toward the posterior portion of the papilla
  • at a 45 degree angle to the palatal bone
51
Q

what is the specific technique for NP nerve blocks

A
  • apply pressure to cotton tip on incisive papilla until tissue blanches
  • keep pressure on applicator during penetration and first couple of drops
  • ease pressure as anesthetic is delivered
