Exam 10: Anatomic Considerations for the Administration of Local Anesthesia

Match the name of the nerve to the predominant structures that it innervates. -Mucosa of the anterior hard palate

With which teeth will the clinician have a higher degree of success in achieving profound anesthesia with infiltration of local anesthetic?

Which nerve supplies innervation to the second and third maxillary molars?

Which bones does the mandible have a movable articulation with?

Match the name of the nerve to the predominant structures that it innervates. -Afferent nerve for the chin,lower lip,and labial mucosa of anterior teeth and premolars

If the MSA nerve is not present,the area is innervated by the PSA,but mostly by the ASA.If the MSA nerve is present,there is communication between the PSA and the ASA.

Which nerve serves as an afferent nerve for the skin of the cheek?

The mental foramen is an important landmark to note intraorally and on a radiograph before administration of mental and incisive nerve blocks.The mental foramen can be as far posterior as the apex of the mandibular first molar or as far anterior as the apex of the mandibular canine.

Which area of the maxilla articulates with the other to form the anterior or major part of the hard palate?

What is the name of the first division of the sensory root of the trigeminal nerve?

Match the name of the nerve to the predominant structures that it innervates. -Posterior hard palate and posterior lingual gingival tissue of the posterior teeth

The maxillary tuberosity is a landmark for the administration of which injection?

The lesser palatine foramen transmits the lesser palatine nerve and blood vessels to the soft palate and tonsils.Due to close proximity to the greater palatine foramen and its nerve,the patient's soft palate can become inadvertently anesthetized with the greater palatine block.

Each of the following describes the buccal nerve associated with the buccal block EXCEPT one.Which one is the EXCEPTION?

Which nerve is considered to be the most involved when a patient experiences paresthesia complications?

Which of the following is a landmark for the inferior alveolar block?

Identify the divisions of the sensory root that carry only afferent nerves to the teeth and associated tissue.

Which nerve provides sensory information for the teeth and associated tissue?

Avoiding anesthesia of the facial nerve at the parotid salivary gland is important when administering an inferior alveolar block because it may result in transient facial paralysis if given incorrectly.

Match the name of the nerve to the predominant structures that it innervates. -Afferent nerve for mandibular anterior teeth and premolars
