Q

Why is asking if lip is numb or poking with an instrument useful?

A

Lets us know if we were in the correct area to do our numbing.

Q

Why is an IAN first molar success rate (51-75%) higher than IAN central incisor success rate (10-50%)?

A

Central core theory. Posterior teeth served by nerves on the outer mantle. More anterior teeth have innervations from the interior core bundle.

Q

What indicates a lack of anesthesia on a tooth with IP that has been anesthetized?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Positive cold response

2. Less than 80/80 EPT

22
Q

Does a negative cold response or 80/80 EPT always indicate profound anesthesia on a tooth with irreversible pulpits?

23
Q

What can be done to aide in getting profound anesthesia on a tooth with irreversible pulpits?

Study These Flashcards
A

Supplemental injections

24
Q

What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars?

25
What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars supplemented with local infiltration with 4% articaine with 1:100k eli?
88%
26
What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars with irreversible pulpits supplemented with local infiltration with 4% aticaine with 1:100K epi?
58%
27
Does IAN supplementation with local infiltration of 4% articaine give predictable results?
No
28
What is the IAN block success rate on mandibular molars supplemented with local infiltration of 2% Lidocaine with 1:100K eli?
71%
29
Nuzum found what anesthesia and technique achieved 98% anesthesia success in the healthy pulps of Mandibular anteriors?
Labial and lingual infiltrations of mandibular anteriors with 4% articaine with 1:100K epi
30
What are the only teeth anesthetized by incisive nerve blocks?
Premolars, not incisors
31
What is the success rate of intraosseous anesthesia with 2% lidocaine with 1:100K eli?
91%
32
What is the success rate of intraossesous anesthesia
80% (98% with 3.6 mL)
33
What is the success rate of intraosseous anesthesia with 4% Articaine with 1:100K eli?
86%
34
What are side effects of intraosseous injections?
Large uptake causes systemic effect of increased heart rate that is transient (avoid by using 3% Mepivicaine plain)
35
Where is the location for a Stabident intraosseous injection site?
Attached gingiva so can locate hole
36
What are ideal areas to do intraosseous injections?
Distal to the tooth working on
37
What indication is there that you have perforated the cortical plate and are int he trabecular bone where you desire to give the intraosseous injection?
Feel al little back pressure
38
What is the major difference of the X-tip system and the Stabident?
X-tip can be done in unattached gingiva because it leaves a guide into the bone giving a repeatable injection port
39
What is the best option for achieving profound anesthesia on a tooth with irreversible pulpits?
Supplemental intraosseous injection
40
What are 2 ways to increase maxillary anesthesia efficacy?
1. Use an agent with a vasoconstrictor | 2. Use 2 carpules (3.6mg) 2% Lido 1:100K epi
41
The use of 2 carpules as well as a vasoconstrictor do what to aide anesthesia: increase amount of anesthesia or increase duration of anesthesia?
Duration
42
Of the maxillary teeth, which are the only ones that respond better to articaine than lidocaine?
Lateral incisors only
43
Does a V2 block work for the maxillary premolars and maxillary anteriors?
No only for molars
44
Does the infraorbital block work for anesthesia of the maxillary anteriors?
No. Only for molars.
45
Does the infraorbital block work for anesthesia of the maxillary incisors?
No
46
Will a PSA work for a 1st molar?
No, only for 2nd molar
47
What percentage of maxillary teeth require supplemental intraosseous anesthesia?
12%
48
What anesthetic technique works best for necrotic teeth?
Block anesthesia if possible
49
Should you inject into a swelling or around it?
Around it
50
Is supplemental intraosseous injection indicated for a necrotic tooth?
No
