techniques maxillary anethesia Flashcards
where is the PSA located
pterygopalatine fossa
PSA Anesthetized Area
palatal tissue not included
PSA Technique
- 45 degrees upward,backward, and in
- 16mm past height of vestibule
- Aspirate, then Inject 0.9ml-1.8ml
why must we aspirate with PSA
pull back gently to see if blood enter needle= do not inject and reposition injection
req a - aspiration before we inject
PSA Nerve Block
Areas Anesthetized
Maxillary molar tooth pulps
MB root of 1st molar in 72%
Buccal periodontium and bone
PSA Nerve Block
Advantages
Atraumatic
Success rate > 95%
Minimal volume of anesthetic
PSA Nerve Block
Disadvantages
Disfiguring hematoma risk (pterygoid plexus) must aspirate
MB root of 1st molar missed in 28%
Aspiration rate ~3%
Middle Superior Alveolar

MSA Nerve Block
Areas Anesthetized
Premolars
MB root of first molar, 28%
Buccal periodontium and bone
MSA Nerve Block
Indications
To treat both premolars
When a nerve block is indicated
When supraperiosteal injection has
failed
When infraorbital block does not
anesthetize premolars
Anterior Superior Alveolar
Nerve / Infraorbital Nerve Block
nn out of infraorbital foramen
1.Locate the Foramen by Palpation
2.Foramen ~ 16 mm Above Vestibule
2. Insertion Depth ~ ½ Long Needle
3. Orient Needle Bevel Towards Bone
3. Needle Contacts Roof of Foramen
2. Aspirate and Inject 0.9 to 1.2 ml
3. Anesthetic Directed into Canal
4. Maintain Pressure During Injection/ and 1 min after
