C)  Buccal nerve block 
D)  Gow-Gates block 
A)  Middle superior alveolar nerve block 
B)  Nasopalatine nerve block 
C)  Buccal nerve block

Question 3

What is the most commonly used mandibular block?

Accepted Answer

A)  The Gow-Gates nerve block 
B)  Posterior superior alveolar nerve block 
C)  Middle superior alveolar nerve block 
D)  Inferior alveolar nerve block 
A)  The Gow-Gates nerve block 
B)  Posterior superior alveolar nerve block 
C)  Middle superior alveolar nerve block 
D)  Inferior alveolar nerve block

Question 4

The buccal bone of the maxilla is much less porous than that of the mandible.This makes it easier for the anesthetic solution to penetrate the buccal bone of the maxilla and reach the apices of the maxillary teeth.

Accepted Answer

B)  The first statement is true;the second statement is false. 
C)  The first statement is false;the second statement is true. 
D)  Both statements are false. 
A)  Both statements are true. 
B)  The first statement is true;the second statement is false. 
C)  The first statement is false;the second statement is true. 
D)  Both statements are false.

Question 5

All of the following are reasons a Varizani-Akinosi nerve block may be used EXCEPT one.Which one is the EXCEPTION?

Accepted Answer

A)  Trismus 
B)  Injury 
C)  Root canal 
D)  Temporomandibular joint dysfunction 
A)  Trismus 
B)  Injury 
C)  Root canal 
D)  Temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Question 6

All of the following are major concerns with nerve blocks EXCEPT one.Which one is the EXCEPTION?

Accepted Answer

A)  Bruising 
B)  Injecting into a blood vessel 
C)  Tearing a blood vessel 
D)  Puncturing a nerve 
A)  Bruising 
B)  Injecting into a blood vessel 
C)  Tearing a blood vessel 
D)  Puncturing a nerve

Question 7

Maxillary nerve blocks anesthetize a smaller area of tissue than local infiltrations or supraperioteal injections.A local anesthetic is deposited in the vicinity of a major nerve trunk and it anesthetizes the area the nerve innervates from that point on.

Accepted Answer

A)  Both statements are true. 
B)  The first statement is true;the second statement is false. 
C)  The first statement is false;the second statement is true. 
D)  Both statements are false. 
A)  Both statements are true. 
B)  The first statement is true;the second statement is false. 
C)  The first statement is false;the second statement is true. 
D)  Both statements are false.

Question 8

All of the mandibular teeth are innervated by the inferior alveolar nerve.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

C) Gow-Gates nerve block 
D) Nasopalatine nerve block 
A) Local infiltration 
B) Anterior superior alveolar nerve block 
C) Gow-Gates nerve block 
D) Nasopalatine nerve block

Question 10

D) Nasopalatine nerve block 
A) Local infiltration 
B) Anterior superior alveolar nerve block 
C) Gow-Gates nerve block
