Transcript
Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve
Block
Nerve Anesthetized :
Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve
- Maxillary premolars and buccal tissues
Areas Anesthetized
Pulpal anesthesia of first & second premolars
and mesiobuccal root of first molar
Buccal soft tissues and bone over same teeth
Indications
Anesthesia of maxillary premolars only
Infraorbital nerve block failure
Contraindications
Infection /inflammation in area of injection
Advantage
Minimized number of injections
Minimized volume of solution
Disadvantage
MSA nerve is only present 28% of the time
Alternatives
Local infiltration (supraperiosteal)
Periodontal ligament injection (PDL)
Infraorbital nerve block
Landmarks / Area of Insertion
Mucobuccal fold above second premolar
Apex of second premolar
Signs and Symptoms
Numb upper lip
Pain free dental therapy
Safety Features
Anatomically safe (no signifcant structures)
Relatively avascular area
positive aspirations - negligible (< 3%)
Complications are rare
Technique - MSA
Apply topical
Position patient and identify landmarks
Insert needle 5-10 mm
Aspirate
Inject 0.9 ml of solution, slowly
Failures of Anesthesia
Needle inserted too high, or not high enough
Deposition of solution too far laterally
Infraorbital Nerve Block
Nerves Anesthetized
Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve
Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve
Superior Labial Nerve
also
Inferior Palpebral Nerve
Lateral Nasal Nerve
Areas Anesthetized
Pulpal anesthesia of maxillary anterior teeth
Pulpal anesthesia of premolars and
mesiobuccal root of first molar
Buccal soft tissue and bone of same teeth
Lower eyelid, lateral nose, and upper lip
Indications
Anesthesia of more than two maxillary teeth
Supraperiosteal injections ineffective
Inflammation/infection contraindicating local
infiltration
Contraindications
Discrete treatment areas (1-2 teeth only)
Hemostasis
Bleeding problems (eg. hemophelia, etc..)
Landmarks
Mucobuccal fold above first premolar
Infraorbital notch
Infraorbital foramen
Area of Insertion
Mucobuccal fold above first premolar
Target area
Infraorbital foramen
Neurovascular bundle
Advantages
Comparatively simple, safe technique
Minimized volume of solution
Minimized number of needle punctures
Disadvantages
Psychological
Administrator- fear of eye involvement
Patient- apprehension of extraoral approach
Anatomical
Difficulty defining landmarks
Alternatives
Supraperiosteal injection for each tooth
Maxillary nerve block
Signs and Symptoms
Tingling and numbness of lower eyelid,
side of nose, and upper lip
Numbness in teeth and soft tissues
No pain during dental therapy
Safety Features
Needle contacting bone
Finger over infraorbital foramen
Technique
Apply topical
Position patient and identify landmarks
Insert needle to upper rim of infraorbital
foramen
Aspirate
Inject 0.9 ml of solution, slowly
Failures of Anesthesia
Bone contact below infraorbital foramen
Needle deviates laterally or medially
Complications
Hematoma (rare)
Positive aspirations - 0.7 %
