MAXILLARY ANESTHESIA TECHNIQUES




POSTERIOR   SUPERIOR  ALVEOLAR NERVE     BLOCK


* Anatomical Landmarks:

  • Mucobuccal fold
  • Zygomatic process of the maxilla
  • Infratemporal surface of maxilla
  • Anterior border and coronoid process of the     Ramus of the mandible
  • Maxilalry Tuberosity


 * Nerves Anesthetized:
Posterior Superior Alveolar Nerve and its branches

* Areas Anethetized:

  • Maxillary Molars of the Side of injection except the Mesio-Buccal Root of the Maxillary First molar
  • Buccal alveolar process covering the maxillary molars
  • Periosteum covering the Maxillary molars Connective tissue covering the Maxillary molars
  • Mucous membrane covering the Maxillary molars


* Technique for Posterior Superior Alveolar Nerve block:
• patient position:-  the back rest of the dental chair is tilted to a 45 degree angle to the floor, this helps to keep the occlusal plane of the patient at 45 degrees when the patient opens his/her  mouth.
• operator position:- 10 o'clock position
• area of insertion :- muccobuccal fold above the mesial cusp of the second molar.
• bevel of needle :- towards the bone
• procedure :- needle is inserted at the area of insertion nd give a upward ,backward nd inward rotation of  the needle.
- see for the two negative aspiration
- inject a 0.9 to 1.8 ml of L.A
- wait for 2 minutes and check for the subjective nd objective signs.

* Amount of L.A :- 0.9 to 1.8 ml

* subjective nd objetive signs :-

- objective signs : instrumentation done with the use either with the tip of blunt probe or elevator to check  for objective  symptoms.
• The aneathetized tissue nd tooth to be pressed ande tapped as compared to the un-anesthetized tissues.

- subjective signs : we cannot find any particular subjective signs.
