Exam 12: Maxillary Nerve Anesthesia

Both the right nasopalatine nerve and the left nasopalatine nerve are anesthetized by the nasopalatine block.Only one injection is needed for both sides of the palate.

Practices to avoid when administering local anesthetic include which of the following?

When administering the PSA injection,what other nerve may inadvertently be anesthetized?

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Pulpal anesthesia of maxillary central incisors

What is the name of the type of injection that anesthetizes a small area of one or two teeth and the associated structures,when the local anesthetic agent is deposited near the terminal nerve endings?

Which of the following are reasons for inadequate anesthesia?

What should the clinician do if she encounters bulky maxillary facial alveolar ridges?

What should the clinician do if she accidently positions the anesthetic needle against the periosteum and bony contact is made?

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Height of mucobuccal fold above the first premolar.

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Hard palate and overlying tissue of maxillary third molar to the first premolar

Where should the site for the MSA injection be if the patient is missing one of his premolars due to orthodontic treatment?

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Slightly mesial to the canine eminence and at the height of the mucobuccal fold

There is less variation in the anatomy of the mandibular anesthetic landmarks than there is in similar maxillary structures,thus making the mandibular injections more routine.Anesthesia in the maxillary arch usually does not require any troubleshooting of failure cases.

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Upward 45 degrees to occlusal plane,inward and backward 45 degrees to the midsaggital plane

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Lateral to the incisive papilla

What is a good reason not to use distracters when administering maxillary anesthesia?

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Foramen located at the junction of the maxillary alveolar process and palatine bone distal to the maxillary second molar

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Hard palate and overlying soft tissue of the maxillary anterior teeth.

MATCHING Match the name of the maxillary injection to the landmarks of the injection site and/or the area that receives the anesthesia. Names of injections may be used more than once. -Pulpal anesthesia of the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar in 28% of the population

What is the most common technique error associated with the infraorbital injection?
