Q

what are the complications of IA block?

SHTT

20
Q

where does the long buccal block get numb?

A

soft tissue on buccal from just posterior to molars up to the premolar area (where mental nerve exits mental foramen)

21
Q

where is the long buccal block injection given?

A

distal and buccal to 2nd molar

22
Q

what’s the depth of penetration for long buccal block

A

2-3mm (bone contact)
~1/5th of carpule

23
Q

where will you give the lingual nerve block?

A

inserted distally and lingually to the 3rd molar area to the depth of ~5mm no bone contact

24
Q

what does the lingual n. block get numb?

A

lingual gingiva, mucosa, floor of the mouth, and anterior 2/3 of tongue

25
Q

where do you place incisive nerve block?

A

mental nerve and rub into foramend

26
Q

does the incisive nerve block give 100% profound pulpal anesthesia?

A

no

27
Q

what nerves get numb with incisive nerve block?

A

mental, incisive

28
Q

what do you do fi the conventional IA block is unsuccessful?

A

Gow-Gates nerve block

29
Q

what is the most important contraindication for Gow-gates nerve block?

A

pt’s who are unable to open their mouth wide? (e.g. trismus)

30
Q

T/F gow-gates is a true V3 nerve block

A

true

31
Q

what branches are numb with the gow-gates nerve block?

A

IA
lingual
auriculotemporal
mylohyoid
long buccal

32
Q

where do you want to inject for Gow-Gates?

A

the lateral aspect of the anterior portion of the condylar head

33
Q

how long must the pt remain wide open for ________ minutes after the injection for gow gates

A

1-2 min

34
Q

for gow gates you’re injecting just inferior to the insertion of the ________ pterygoid muscle

A

lateral

35
Q

where do you position the needle for gow-gates?

A

beginning form the contralateral canine, the needle is positioned for insertion at a level just inferior to mesiolingual cusp of 2nd molar

36
Q

what is the alternate approach for gow-gates?

A

puncture point is made approximately at the location of the distobuccal cusp of the 2nd molar

37
Q

what is the needle insertion depth of gow-gates?

A

25-30mm

38
Q

what’s the idea behind having the bone contacted during gow-gates?

A

prevents injection into the capsule of the TMJ

39
Q

what is the success rate of gow-gates?

A

> 95% when you’re proficient

40
Q

when do you use the akinosi block?

A

limited mandibular opening
inability to visualize landmarks for the IA block due to large tongue

41
Q

what nerves will be anesthetied with vazirani-akinosi block?

A

IA
incisive
mental
lingual
mylohyoid
(NOT long buccal)

42
Q

what are the disadvantages of vazirani-akinosi block?

A

-difficult to visualize the path of the path of the needle and depth of insertion
-no bony contact; depth of penetration somewhat arbitrary
-potentially traumatic if needle is too close to periosteum

43
Q

bevel orientation _________ from ramus with vazirani-akinosi block

A

away

44
Q

what is the depth of the vazirani-akinosi block?

A

25mm

45
Q

T/f with vazirani-akinosi block you’ll be perpendicular to the max occlusal plane

A

false. parallel

46
Q

where do you insert needle for vazirani-akinosi block?

A

into mucosa b/w medial border of mandibular ramus and the max tuberosity at the level of the cervical margin of the max molars

47
Q

what areas are anesthetized with vazirani-akinosi block?

A

-mand teeth to midline
-buccal mucoperiosteum and mucous membranes on the side of injection
-ant. 2/3 of tongue and floor of oral cavity
-lingual soft tissues and periosteum
-body ob mandible, inferior portion of the ramus
-skin over the zygoma, post portion of the cheek and temporal regions
