techniques of mandibular injections Flashcards
what is the second most frequently injection used after infiltration?
IA block
what nerves are anesthetized with the IA block?
IA nerve
incisive, mental, and lingual nerves
the anatomic location of the lingula
at or below 1.0 cm above the mand occ. plan _____% of the time
84%
the anatomic location of the lingula
at or below 1.5 cm above the mand occ. plan _____% of the time
96%
the anatomic location of the lingula
_______% distally fo the mesiodistal length of the ramus
60%
where should you approach for the IA block?
from the contralateral premolars
T/F you shoudl be 1.0 cm above the mand occlusal plane and perpendicular to it
false: 1.5 cm above the mand occlusal plane and parallel to it
the needle endpoint should be _______% of the __________ length of the ramus, distally
60%, mesiodistal
T/f it is required that you hit the bone on the IA block
true
what gauge needle for the IA block?
25 gauge long needle
how far do you withdraw for the IA?
1mm
how much of the carpule of local anesthetic over how long?
3/4 of the carpule over 1-2 min
(inject 1/4 carpule, re-aspirate; inject 1/4, re-aspirate)
withdraw the needle 1/2 way (_______mm) during the IA block
~10-15mm
why will you withdraw during the IA block?
to slowly inject the lingual nerve
T/f you don’t need to save any anesthetic for the long buccal
false
what is the clinical failure rate for the IA block?
15-20%
what is a common issue with IA block?
wide variation in anatomy
-anesthetic too low, too anteriorly
limited access to IAN
accessory innervation
-mylohyoid nerve
T/f it’s ok to give bilateral IA blocks
False. can bite themselves etc
