Infection or acute inflammation in the area of injection. 2. Dense bone covering the apices of teeth Advantages 1 High success rate (>95%) 2 Technically easy injection 3 Usually entirely atraumatic Disadvantages Not recommended for large areas because of the need for multiple needle insertions and the necessity to administer larger total volumes of local anesthetic. Positive Aspiration Negligible, but possible (<1%). Alternatives PDL, IO, regional nerve block. Technique 1. A 27-gauge short needle is recommended. 2. Area of insertion: height of the mucobuccal fold above the apex of the tooth being anesthetized 3. Target area: apical region of the tooth to be anesthetized 4. Landmarks: * Buccl ( 2 imaginary lines) a Mucobuccal fold b-long axis of tooth *Palatal midway between 2 line a- midpalatal suture line b- palatal free gingival line 5 Orientation of the bevel *: toward bone 6 procedure: a Prepare tissue at the injection site. (1) Clean with sterile dry gauze. (2) Apply topical antiseptic (optional). (3) Apply topical anesthetic for minimum of 1 minute. b Orient needle so bevel faces bone. c Lift the lip, pulling the tissue taut. d Hold the syringe parallel with the long axis of the tooth e Insert the needle into the height of the mucobuccal fold over the target tooth. f Advance the needle until its bevel is at or above the apical region of the tooth g Aspirate .

  • Palatal Injection Does Not Block the Superior Alveolar Nerve Trunks: Correcting an Error Regarding the Innervation of the Maxillary Teeth
    Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.2120 Palatal Injection does not Block the Superior Alveolar Nerve Trunks: Correcting an Error Regarding the Innervation of the Maxillary Teeth Joe Iwanaga 1 , R. Shane Tubbs 2 1. Seattle Science Foundation 2. Neurosurgery, Seattle Science Foundation Corresponding author: Joe Iwanaga, [email protected] Abstract The superior alveolar nerves course lateral to the maxillary sinus and the greater palatine nerve travels through the hard palate. This difficult three-dimensional anatomy has led some dentists and oral surgeons to a critical misunderstanding in developing the anterior and middle superior alveolar (AMSA) nerve block and the palatal approach anterior superior alveolar (P-ASA) nerve block. In this review, the anatomy of the posterior, middle and anterior superior alveolar nerves, greater palatine nerve, and nasopalatine nerve are revisited in order to clarify the anatomy of these blocks so that the perpetuated anatomical misunderstanding is rectified. We conclude that the AMSA and P-ASA nerve blockades, as currently described, are not based on accurate anatomy. Categories: Anesthesiology, Medical Education, Other Keywords: anatomy, innervation, local anesthesia, maxillary nerve, nerve block, tooth Introduction And Background Anesthetic blockade of the posterior superior alveolar (PSA) branch of the maxillary nerve has played an important role in the endodontic treatment of irreversible acute pulpitis of the upper molar teeth except for the mesiobuccal root of the first molar tooth [1, 2]. This procedure requires precise anatomical knowledge of the pterygopalatine fossa and related structures in order to avoid unnecessary complications and to make the blockade most effective. The infraorbital nerve gives rise to middle superior alveolar (MSA) and anterior superior alveolar (ASA) branches.

  • Maxillary Nerve-Mediated Postseptoplasty Nasal Allodynia: a Case Report
    E CASE REPORT Maxillary Nerve-Mediated Postseptoplasty Nasal Allodynia: A Case Report Shikha Sharma, MD, PhD,* Wilson Ly, MD, PharmD,* and Xiaobing Yu, MD*† Endoscopic nasal septoplasty is a commonly performed otolaryngology procedure, not known to cause persistent postsurgical pain or hypersensitivity. Here, we discuss a unique case of persis- tent nasal pain that developed after a primary endoscopic septoplasty, which then progressed to marked mechanical and thermal allodynia following a revision septoplasty. Pain symptoms were found to be mediated by the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve and resolved after percuta- neous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of bilateral maxillary nerves.

  • Local Anaesthesia for Descriptive Purposes It Is Convenient to Sub-Divide Local Anaesthesia on an Anatomical Basis Into Topical, Infiltration, and Regional Techniques
    Fundamentals of technique The importance of a quiet, confident, and friendly manner towards all patients so physical comfort is also essential for the co-operation of the patient and the ease of operation of the dental surgeon. The patient should be seated in a semi-reclining position with the back and legs supported and with head rest in the nape of the neck. Most adult patients will respond to the dental surgeon's endeavors to gain the patient his or her confidence and so premedication will not be required for the administration of a local anaesthetic for a relatively simple procedure. Types of local anaesthesia For descriptive purposes it is convenient to sub-divide local anaesthesia on an anatomical basis into topical, infiltration, and regional techniques. Topical or surface anaesthesia: is obtained by the application of a suitable anaesthetic agents to an area of either skin or mucous membrane which it penetrates to anaesthetize superficial nerve-ending. It is most commonly used to obtain anaesthesia of mucosa prior to injection. Spray: containing an appropriate local anaesthetic agent are particularly suitable for this purpose because of their rapidity of action. The active ingredient is 10% lignocaine hydrochloride. When used as a spray it is very easy to spread the solution, and its effect, much more extensively than is desired. The onset time of anaesthesia is about 1 minute and the duration round about 10 minute. Ethyl chloride: when sprayed on skin or mucosa volatilizes to rapidly produces anaesthesia by refrigeration. This phenomenon is of clinical value only when spray directed at a limited area until snow appears.\This technique is of limited value is occasionally used to produce surface anaesthesia prior to incision of a fluctuant abscesses.

College of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, India ABSTRACT Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the general anatomy and morphology of the nasopalatine canal using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to determine the human anatomic variability of the nasopalatine canal in relation to age and gender. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 subjects aged between 20 and 86 years who were divided into the following 3 groups: 1) 20-34 years old; 2) 35-49 years old; 3) ›50 years old. The subjects were equally distributed between the genders. CBCT was performed using a standard exposure and patient positioning protocol. The data of the CBCT images were sliced in three dimensions. Image planes on the three axes (X, Y, and Z) were sequentially analyzed for the location, morphology and dimensions of the nasopalatine canal by two independent observers. The correlation of age and gender with all the variables was evaluated. Results: The present study did not reveal statistically significant differences in the number of openings at the nasal fossa; diameter of the nasal fossa openings; diameter of the incisive fossa; shape, curvature, and angulation of the canal as viewed in the sagittal sections; antero-posterior dimensions and length of the canal in the sagittal sections; or the level of division of the canal in the coronal plane by age.
