question

IO block
answer

for anesthesia of maxillary anterior and premolar teeth and assoc periodontium as well as facial tissue in one quadrant
question

if either sextant or quadrant treatment is planned on maxillary arch,
answer

the PSA block is given before any of the other maxillary facial injections as well as any maxillary palatal injections to allow the necessary time for the larger molars to become completely anesthetized --instrumenting proceeding in the same manner

palpating injection site with a cotton tip applicator before the injection helps
answer

determine needle access problems -- like exostoses or bulky facial alveolar ridge
question

supraperiosteal injection/local infiltration/field block
answer

for any tooth of

either arch --anesthetizes terminal fibers in maxillary arch because bone more porus

hemostasis in smaller circumscribed area, like during maintenance or recare appt.
question

SI
answer

terminal branches of selected tooth or teeth and facial or lingual soft tissue, 27 short, mucobuccal fold or lingual surface at apex of selected teeth at height of mucobuccal fold or lingual surface, 5 mm or 1/4 of short needle, 0.6 mL or 1/3 of cartridge, 30-60 sec; aspiration potential < 1%
question

if infection present,
answer

do nerve block instead
question

SI not recommended when
answer

several teeth in quad need to be anesthetized; use nerve block instead
question

deposit location/target area
answer

apex of selected tooth --root lengths vary
question

needle insertion point/injection site

height of maxillary arch or depth of mucobuccal fold or lingual/palatal surface, with needle inserted toward bone --no bony contact
question

PSA block indicated when
answer

procedure involves 2 or more molars or their associated periodontium and buccal gingival tissue
question

PSA nerve and areas anethetized
answer

PSA nerve, molars completely in 72% of population, and mesiobuccal root of max first molar not anesthetized in 28% --also buccal soft tissue of maxillary molar region
question

PSA needle

and operator position

answer

25 short prefered, but 27 acceptable; right 8 or 9:00, left 10:00
question

PSA landmarks
answer

maxillary tuberosity, maxillary mucobuccal fold, maxillary 2nd molar, maxillary occlusal plane, midsaggital plane
question

PSA needle insertion point and depth
answer

at height of mucobuccal fold superior to apex of maxillary 2nd molar; 16 mm or 3/4 depth of short needle
question

PSA deposit location, amount of anesthetic and time
answer

superior to apex of maxillary 2nd molar and posterior and superior to posterior border of maxilla at PSA foramina, --0.9 - 1.7 mL or one-half to full cartridge; 60-120 seconds
question

If mesiobuccal root 1st molar not innervated by PSA,
answer

give MSA as well
question

maxillary molars often first to be involved in periodontal disease
answer

so consider this block during quad NSPT and also during maintenance and recare appointments
question

if anesthesia of lingual or palatal soft tissue is also needed
answer

give greater palatine block as well
question

target area for PSA
answer

PSA nerve as it enters maxilla through the PSA foramina on the maxilla's infratemporal surface; -- posterosuperior and medial on the maxillary tuberosity
question

needle depth with smaller and larger skulls
answer

16 mm, or 3/4 the depth of short needle

should not vary much on average size; --decrease depth if smaller to lessen risk of hematoma --to decrease risk of hematoma on a large patient, still use 25-short

question

to achieve visability for needle insertion
answer

retract alveolar mucosa vertically about 1 cm distal to the zygomatic process so that the distal part of the maxillary tuberosity is exposed --a concavity in mucobuccal fold distal to maxillary tuperosity will be present
question

overall angulation of needle to injection site
answer

45 degree angle to occlusal plane, inward at 45 degree to occlusal plane, and backward or posteriorly from midsaggital plane at 45 degree angle to long axis of maxillary 2nd molar
question

when attempting nondominant side
answer

needle should follow same pathway as the nondominant arm, --always toward surface of maxilla and operator's body
question

in order to accomplish needle angulations
answer

no bending of needle shank, no movement of needle within tissue to obtain correct angulation
question

usually no indications of successful PSA
answer

so patient has difficulty determining extent of anesthesia; --lip and tongue do not feel numb --teeth feel dull when gently tapped --absence of pain during dental procedures
question

no bone contact at any time!
answer

if bone is contacted, or resistance felt, angle of needle toward midline is too great; mover syringe closer to occlusal plane
question

class="flashcard__q">if needle advanced too far distally into tissue

answer

may penetrate pterygoid plexus and maxillary artery, possibly causing a hematoma
question

hematoma
answer

bluish-reddish extraoral swelling of hemorrhaging blood in the tissue
question

if needle is additonally contaminated
answer

may be spread of infection to cavernous sinus
question

positive aspiration potential
answer

3.1%; third highest; aspirate several times within different planes --do not give on children
question

avoid depositing lateral to PSA nerve to prevent
answer

harmless and inadvertant mandibular anesthesia
question

MSA block for
answer

maxillary premolars and mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molar --most clinicians give this block even though MSA nerve absent in 68% of population --to ensure coverage of mesiobuccal root of 1st molar
question

MSA anesthetizes
answer

pulp only; need greater palatine for lingual or palatal soft tissue of these teeth
question

MSA needle
answer

27-short
question

MSA operator position
answer

right 8:00, left 9:00
question

MSA landmarks
answer

maxillary mucobuccal fold, maxillary second premolar
question

MSA target area
answer

MSA nerve at apex of maxillary second premolar
question

MSA needle insertion point
answer

at height of mucobuccal fold

at apex of maxillary 2nd premolar, inserted until tip is located superior to the apex of maxillary second premolar without resistance or bony contact in order to reduce trauma

question

because root length varies among patients,
answer

depth of needle penetration will vary --5 mm, or 1/4 the depth of short needle
question

if one of maxillary premolars has been removed for othro therapy, existing premolars move from their original place
answer

estimate target area by having injection site halfway in the dental arch to provide best anesthetic coverage to maxillary premolars
question

pulling upper lip more anteriorly helps avoid having to go through large frena
answer

if not able to avoid frena, give injection slightly posterior than anterior to the recommended site for more complete coverage
question

indications of a successful MSA block
answer

harmless tingling and numbing of upper lip and absence of discomfort
question

positive aspiration for MSA
answer

less than 3.1%
question

amount of anesthetic for MSA
answer

0.9 - 1.2 mL or 1/2 to 2/3 of cartridge
question

amount of time for MSA
answer

60-90 seconds
