13 Questions
Where is the mandibular anaesthesia infiltration technique able to be performed?
In regions where nerves are not surrounded by thick bone
Which type of infiltration technique is suitable to anaesthetize the lower anteriors?
Buccal infiltrations
What nerve does the buccal infiltration technique target for the lower anteriors?
Incisive nerve
What additional anesthesia is necessary for the lingual gingiva if it needs to be involved during the buccal infiltration technique?
Lingual nerve block
Where should the needle be inserted to perform lingual infiltration for the buccal infiltration technique?
At the floor of the mouth, at an angle where mucosa is reflected upon gingiva
Which area is anaesthetized by the long buccal nerve block?
Buccal periosteum
What is targeted by the long buccal nerve block?
Long buccal nerve
What are the key landmarks used for the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block technique?
Coronoid notch, internal oblique ridge, and pterygomandibular raphe
What is the indication for using the IAN block technique?
Pulpal anaesthesia of molar and premolar teeth
What area is anaesthetized by the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block technique?
Buccal gingiva and periosteum anterior to first molar
What should be avoided while performing the IAN block technique?
$1/2$ way up finger in coronoid notch or on occlusal plane
What should be avoided while performing buccal infiltration technique?
Pricking FOM too often to create a hematoma
What determines the height for inserting the needle during IAN block technique?
Coronoid notch, deepest point of raphe, and halfway between maxilla and mandible
Test your knowledge about the infiltration technique for mandibular anesthesia, which involves injecting into tissues adjacent to the site to be anesthetized. The quiz also covers the indications and types of infiltration techniques in the maxilla.
