Test #3 Flashcards
Factors for selecting a LA for administration?
- Physical status of patient
- Past medical history
- Length of procedure
- All of the above
All of the above
When delivering a right inferior alveolar injection, what two teeth are the barrel of the syringe over?
20 and 21* (Contralateral premolars)
When administering a PSA 25 gauge needle, what is correct depth of penetration?
16 mm
Which of the following injections has the highest degree of failure?
Inferior Alveolar
T/F - The most rigid part of the needle is the hub and if a needle is to break it will break at its hub making insertion to the hub for an injection an acceptable practice.
False
What is the correct location for administration of the PSA injection?
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)
What is the correct position of thumb of non-injecting hand when administering an IA NB?
Coronoid Notch
When administering IA injection, what is the correct depth of penetration?
20-25 mm* (hence why we use a long needle - 32 mm)
Anticipating correct administration of long buccal nerve injection, what area will be anesthetized?
Soft tissues and periosteum buccal to the mand. molar teeth*
Which of the following is a reason for local anesthetic failure?
- Improper technique
- Presence of infection
- Anatomical infection
- All of the above
All of the above
When administering an IA injection, what is the correct amount to administer to anesthetize the IA nerve?
1.5 mL
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)
Gauge (shorter the gauge, the larger the lumen)(25 gauge > 30 gauge)
What is the correct distance above mandibular occlusal plane for the IA nerve block?
- 0.5 cm
- 1.0 cm
- 1.5 cm
- 2.0 cm
1.5 cm
What is the volume of a local anesthetic cartridge ?
2cc or 2 mL
What is the length of a long needle?
32mm
