Q

What is the correct location for administration of the PSA injection?

A

Posterior to the malar process over the maxillary second molar** (PSA – malar process – zygoma comes into maxilla – the “speed bump”. PSA goes posterior to malar process over the maxillary second molar)

Q

How is the size of the needle lumen determined?

  • Length (longer the needle, the larger the lumen)
  • Gauge (longer the gauge, the larger the lumen)
  • Length (shorter the needle, the larger the lumen)
  • Gauge (shorter the gauge, the larger the lumen)
A

Gauge (shorter the gauge, the larger the lumen)(25 gauge > 30 gauge)

A

Red

18
Q

  • Recent MI
  • Pheochromocytoma
  • Stable angina
  • None of the above
  • All of above
A

Stable Angine (but not unstable)

19
Q

What is the recommended rate of deposition of LA solution?

  • 1.4 ml per minute
  • 1.8 ml/min
  • 2.2 ml/min
  • NA
  • Rate of administration is immaterial
A

1.8 mL/min

20
Q

T/F - If there is going to be a complication following LA administration, it will usually occur within 5 to 10 minutes of an injection, making making continuous observation important.

A

True

21
Q

Which is disadvantage of infiltration of LA versus block technique

  • Requires multiple needle insertions
  • Requires greater volume of LA solution
  • More difficult to administer local teeth due to anatomy
  • All of the above
A

All of the above

22
Q

Which of the following is the appropriate needle when administering anesthesia for most anesthesia techniques?

A

25 gauge* (Exception is 27 gauge for palatal or PDL)

23
Q

With failure to anesthetize MB root of first molar following the administration of aPSA nerve block, which injection should be administered?

  • AMSA
  • ASA
  • Nasopalatine
  • Greater palatine
A

ASA* (Infraorbital has a branch that will catch the MB root)

24
Q

Nerves is the most likely to be anesthetized following administration of division 2 NB

A

Cranial nerve VI* – Abducens

25
Q

When inserting needle for Vazirani-Akinosi nerve block, the bevel should be facing?

A

Towards midline
