    Study Notes

    Maxillary Anesthesia Techniques

    • Supraperiosteal Injection Technique
    • AKA: Field Block
    • Anesthetizes: Terminal branches of the dental plexus
    • Effective areas: Pulp of the tooth, root, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone surrounding tooth, buccal soft tissues opposite the tooth
    • Indications: Pulpal anesthesia for one or two teeth, soft tissue anesthesia in a small area
    • Contraindications: Infection/inflammation in the injection area, dense bone covering tooth apices
    • Advantages: High success rate, easy technique, usually atraumatic
    • Disadvantages: Not recommended for large areas, may have to use multiple injections with a larger volume of anesthetic
    • Positive aspiration probability: Negligible but possible

    Basic Maxillary Injection Techniques

    • Supraperiosteal infiltration (Field Block): Suitable for one or two adjacent roots
    • Posterior Superior Alveolar (PSA) Nerve Block: Suitable for multiple molars in one quadrant
    • Middle Superior Alveolar (MSA) Nerve Block: Suitable for premolars in one quadrant
    • Anterior Superior Alveolar (ASA) Nerve Block: Suitable for anterior teeth in one quadrant
    • Maxillary (V2) Nerve Block: Suitable for all teeth in one quadrant
    • Greater (Anterior) Palatine Nerve Block: Suitable for palatal soft tissue distal to the canine
    • Nasopalatine Nerve Block: Suitable for palatal soft tissues from canine to canine
    • Anterior Middle Superior Alveolar (AMSA) Nerve Block: Suitable for buccal and palatal soft and hard tissues and pulps of anterior teeth
    • Palatal Approach ASA (P-ASA) Nerve Block
