Q

local infiltration

A

small terminal nerve endings in the area of the dental tx will be flooded with LA

  • the treatment occurs in the same area in which the LA is administered
  • usually not just doing this one

Q

field block

A

LA is deposited NEAR the larger terminal nerve branches so the anestherized area will be circumscribed

  • tx occurs in an area away from the site of injection
  • prevents passage of impulses to the CNS
  • maxillary injections ABOVE THE APEX OF THE TOOTH

** getting coverage over a couple of teeth

Q

Posterior Superior Alveolar Nerve Block areas anesthetized

A

PSA when used for pulpal anesthesia for the maxillary 3rd, second, and first molars is effective in 77- 100% of patients

  • ** MB root of the 1st molar is not consistently innervated by the PSA nerve
  • may nee supplemental injection to adequately anesthetize the max 1st molar

Q

failure to obstain anesthesia in PSA?

A

too lateral, needle not high enough, needle too far posterior

28
Q

hematoma in PSA?

A

one of the complications that occurs in this injection and occurs if the needle is placed too far posteriorly and hits the pterygoid plexus of veins – + the maxillary artery may also be perforated so use a short needle to minimize this risk

29
Q

mandibular anesthesia associated with PSA block?

A

yes – one of the complications that can occur.

CNV3 is located lateral to the PSA nerve – so if too far lateral this could occur

30
Q

working on the second pre-molar? MSA present in how many people?

A

MSA block

28%

31
Q

MSA block areas anesthetized?

A

pulps of max first and second premolars, MB root of the first molar+ buccal periodontal tissue and bone over same teeth

32
Q

indications for MSA?

A

when infraorobital nerve block fails to provide pulpal anesthesia distal to the max canine

dental procedures involving both maxillary pre molars only

33
Q

if MSA nerve is absent - what is the innervation through?

A

ASA nerve

34
Q

contraindications to MSA?

A

injection in the area is inflammed or infected

where the MSA nerve is absenet, innervation is through ASA nerve technique

35
Q

advantages of MSA?

A

minimizes the number of injections and volume of solution

36
Q 
MSA block technique?
needle use?
area of insertion? 
target area?
landmarks?
bevel orientation?
A

25-27 short needle

area of insertion = height of the mucobuccal fold of max 2nd pre-molar

landmark = mucobuccal fold of max 2nd pre molar

bevel is oriented towards the bone

37
Q

failure to anesthetize with MSA?

A

LA not delivered over apex of tooth (2nd pre-molar)

deposition of LA was too far from maxillary bone with needle placed in tissues laeral to the height of muccobucal fold

bone of zygomatic arch (thick bone) at site of injection prevents the diffusion of the LA

38
Q

anterior superior alveolar nerve block AKA

A

infraorbital

39
Q

nerves anesthetized in anterior superior alveolar nerve block ; infraorbital nerve block

A

ASA
MSA
Infraoribital – inferior palpebral, lateral nasal, superior labial

40
Q

nerves asociated with infraorbital

A

inferior palbebral, lateral nasal, superior labial

41
Q

areas anesthetized with anterior superior alveolar nerve block ; infraorbital nerve block

A

pulps of the max central incisors through the canine on side of injection

in 72% of patients – gets the pulps of the max pre molars and MB root of the first molar

buccal periodontium and bone of same teeth

lower eyelid, lateral aspect of nose, upper lip

42
Q 
ASA block technique?
needle use?
area of insertion? 
target area?
landmarks?
bevel orientation?
A

25 gauge long needle

area of insertion = height of muccobuccal fold directly over the first pre molar

target area - infraorbital foramen

landmarks = mucobuccal fold, infraorbital notch, infraorbital foramen

orient bevel towards the bone

43
Q

ASA technique

A

locate the infraorbital foramen

  • feel for the infraorbital notch
  • move finger down from the notch, applying gentle pressure to the tissues
  • bone immediately inferior to infraorbital notch is convex – represents the lower border of the orbital rim and roof of the infraorbital foramen
  • as your finger continues inferiorly, a concavity is felt which is the infraorbital foramen
  • applying pressure, feel the outlines of foramen
  • maintain finger on foramen, or mark skin
  • make tissue taight in the muccobuccal fold
  • insert needle to height of muccobuccal fold over first pre-molar
  • orient towards the foramen with the needle
  • needle should be held parallel to long axis of the tooth
44
Q

bone immediately inferior to infraorbital notch is…

A

is convex – represents the lower border of the orbital rim and roof of the infraorbital foramen

45
Q

in ASA- advance the needle slowly until …

A

bone is gently contacted

  • the point of contact should be the upper rim of the infraorbital foramen
  • the general depth of needle penetration is 16,,, but can vary
  • aspirate
  • deliver .9 to 1.2 cc’s
  • maintian firm pressure over the injection for a minimum of 1 minute after the injection
46
Q

complications and how to adverse with an ASA?

A

hematoma - and just apply pressure for 2-3 minutes and should resolve

47
Q

palatal anesthesia? - two nerves and when?

A

greater palatien nerve block

nasopalatine nerve block

necessary for dentwal tx involving manipulation of palatal soft or hard tissue

48
Q

autramatic aministration of palatal anesthesia

A
  1. provide adequate topical
  2. use pressure anesthesia at the site before and during the needle insertion and deposition
  3. maintain control over the needle
  4. deposit slowly
  5. believe that it can be an a-traumatic experience
49
Q

greater palatine nerve block useful?

A

useful for dental procedures involving palatal soft tissues distal to the canine

50
Q

greater palatine nerve block areas anesthetized?

A

posterior portion of the hard palate and its overlying soft tissues, anteriorly as far as the first pre-molar and medially to the midline

51
Q

greater palatine nerve block landmarks?

A

greater palatine foramen and junction of the maxillary alveolar process and palatine bone

52
Q

orientation of bevel in greater palatine nerve block

A

toward the palatal soft tissue

53
Q

failure to anesthetize in Greater palatine nerve block

A

LA deposited too far anteriorly

anesthesia of the max 1st premolar may be inadequate due to overlaping fibers of nasopalatine nerve

54
Q

what happens if you concentrate a vasoconstricting solution on soft tissue?

A

ischemia and necrosis of tissue can occur

55
Q

other names for nasopaltine nerve block

57
Q 
technique for nasopaltine nerve block
needle use?
area of insertion? 
target area?
landmarks?
bevel orientation?
A

needle use? = 27-gauge short needle

area of insertion? = palatal mucosa just lateral to the incisive papilla

target area? = incisive foramen, beneath the incisive papilla

landmarks? = central incisors and incisive papilla

bevel orientation? = towards palatal soft tissue

58
Q

failure of reaching anesthesia in nasopalatine nerve blcok?

A

(usually minimal with high success rate of 95%)

  • could have unilateral anesthesia as it did not get to other side yet
  • inadequate palatal soft tissue in the area of the maxillary canine and 1st premolar
59
Q

where is the inadequate anesthetic with nasoplatine block if occurs?

A

where there would be potential overlap between this nerve and the greater palatine nerve
- around the tissues of max canine and 1st pre-molar

complications in nasopaltine

A

hematoma

necrosis of soft tissue

61
