Study Notes
Dental Nerve Block Techniques
- Posterior superior alveolar nerve block (PSA) is a pathway through the tissue, with the area of insertion visible and the target area imagined.
- The entry point for maxillary nerve block is the same as PSA, but it goes deeper (30mm compared to 16mm).
- The technique for PSA involves insertion at the height of the mucobuccal fold above the maxillary second molar, with the needle directed at a 45-degree angle.
- To gain access, the patient's mouth is partially opened, and the needle is inserted into the height of the mucobuccal fold over the second molar.
- The needle is advanced slowly in an upward, inward, and backward direction for PSA, at a 45-degree angle to the occlusal plane.
- In an adult of normal size, penetration to a depth of 16mm places the needle tip in the vicinity of the foramina through which the PSA nerves enter the posterior surface of the maxilla.
- Positive aspiration for PSA is approximately 3.1%.
- The PSA injection is normally atraumatic due to the large tissue space available and the fact that bone is not touched.
- Infraorbital nerve block anesthetizes the anterior superior alveolar, middle superior alveolar, and infraorbital nerves, as well as specific structured areas.
- The technique for infraorbital nerve block involves palpating the infraorbital foramen, inserting the needle parallel to the tooth until bony contact is made, and slowly depositing 0.9 to 1.2 mL of anesthetic solution.
- Positively aspirated aspiration for infraorbital nerve block is 0.7%.
- Anterior superior alveolar nerve block is a combination of infiltration and nerve block, with the quantity of anesthesia being 1.5 compared to 0.6 for infiltration alone.
