Module 12 Flashcards
what is the principal sensory nerve to the orofacial complex
trigeminal
what are the 3 divisions that trigeminal nerve is composed of
- ophthalmic
- maxillary
- mandibular
what are the major branches of V2 (maxillary)
- Posterior Superior Alveolar (PSA)
- Middle Superior Alveolar (MSA)
- Anterior Superior Alveolar (ASA)
- Greater Palatine (GP)
- Nasopalatine (NP)
- Infraorbital (IO)
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a PSA nerve block
0.9 - 1.8 cc
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a MSA nerve block
0.9 - 1.2 cc
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a ASA nerve block
0.9 - 1.2 cc
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a GP nerve block
0.25 cc
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a NP nerve block
0.25 cc
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a IO nerve block
1.2 cc
what is the quantity of local anesthetic used for a supraperiosteal infiltration
0.9 - 1.0 cc
what teeth does the MSA nerve innervate
- 1st premolar
- 2nd premolar
- mesial of 1st molar
what tissues does the MSA nerve innervate
buccal gingiva in premolars / 1st molar region
when doing a MSA block what is the target area
slightly apical to the premolars either 1st or 2nd
where is penetration of the mucosa made in a MSA block
along the long axis at the apex of the premolar
what needle is used for a MSA nerve block injection
27 short
how much of the needle length is inserted into the mucosa
1/3 to half
does it matter which way the bevel is pointed?
YES - towards the bone!
how much the carpule do you use for a MSA block
about 1/2 carpule (0.9 - 1.0 cc)
why does it matter which direction the bevel is directed
if it is not directed towards the bone it can inflict pain on the patient
what teeth does the PSA nerve innervate
- 3rd molar
- 2nd molar
- distal 1st molar
what tissue does the PSA nerve innervate
buccal gingiva in the molar region
what is the target area of a PSA injection
apical to the root of the 3rd molar
where is penetration of the mucosa made in a PSA nerve block
just lateral to the 2nd molar at a 45 degree angle to the long axis of the tooth and at a 45 degree angle approaching medially
what do you want to avoid in a PSA nerve block
Pterygoid Plexus
what needle is used for a PSA nerve block
27 short
how much of the needle is inserted into the mucosa in a PSA nerve block
half the needle length
how many carpules are used for this block
1/2 carpule (0.9 - 1.0 cc)
what teeth does the ASA nerve innervate
- canines
- lateral incisors
- central incisors
what tissue does the ASA nerve innervate
labial mucosa & inner aspect of the lip to the midline
what is the target area of an ASA nerve block
apical and slightly distal to the canine
