Study Notes
Nerve Blocks
- The Caudal Infraorbital block is administered at the canal aspect of the infraorbital nerve. This blocks the maxillary nerve on that side, affecting the entire maxilla on the left side. The injection site is dorsal to the left PM3 furcation.
- The Minor Palatine block targets the ipsilateral soft palate.
- The Major Palatine block targets the ipsilateral hard palate, specifically at the foramen of the hard palate midway between PM4 and the midline.
- The Middle Mental block is administered on the ipsilateral rostral mandible, ventral to the PM2 mesial root (foramen).
- The Inferior Alveolar block targets the ipsilateral mandible, with both extra and intra-oral options available.
