Study Notes
Maxillary Injection Techniques
- Local Anesthetic Injection Techniques are used to anesthetize specific areas of the mouth during dental procedures.
- The type of injection depends on the site of anesthetic deposition relative to the area being treated.
-
Three major types of local anesthetic injections:
- Local infiltration: Anesthetizes nerve endings, used for surface anesthesia (e.g., interdental papilla before root planning).
- Field block: Anesthetizes nerve branches, used for anesthetizing 1-2 teeth (e.g., at or above the apex of the tooth).
- Nerve block: Anesthetizes the main nerve trunk, used for quadrant dentistry (e.g., infraorbital nerve block).
- "Infiltration" is a commonly used term in dentistry, but clinically it refers to the "Field-Block" technique.
- Supraperiosteal injection is considered a "Field Block" technique.
- Supraperiosteal injection aims to anesthetize terminal branches of the dental plexus.
-
Supraperiosteal injection anesthetizes:
- Pulp of the tooth
- Root area of the tooth
- Periodontal ligament
- Alveolar bone surrounding the tooth
- Buccal soft tissues opposite the tooth.
Supraperiosteal Injection Technique
-
Armamentaria:
- Supplementary: Surgical sponge, cotton tweezers, topical antiseptic, topical anesthesia.
- Basic: 27-gauge short dental needle, anesthetic cartridge, aspirating syringe.
-
Common names:
- Local infiltration (incorrect)
- Paraperiosteal injection
-
Indications:
- Pulpal anesthesia for one or two teeth
- Soft tissue anesthesia in a circumscribed area.
-
Contraindications:
- Infection or inflammation
- Dense bone covering tooth apices (e.g., over permanent maxillary first molar in children, adult central incisor).
-
Advantages:
- High success rate (above 95%)
- Easy technique
- Usually atraumatic.
-
Disadvantages:
- Not recommended for large areas due to multiple needle insertions and large anesthetic volumes.
- Positive Aspiration: Negligible, but possible.
