6. Basic Injection Technique
Position the patient
Communicate with the patient
Prepare the tissue
Dry the area
Apply antiseptic
Apply topical anesthetic
Check flow of local anesthetic
8. Maxillary Anaesthesia
Maxillary bone is porous
and mainly cancellous.
Roots of the maxillary
teeth are covered only by
a thin layer of buccal
bone.
Highly vascular

10. Maxillary infiltration anaesthesia
.:Buccal Infiltration A. 1
For all Maxillary teeth
Slow supraperiosteal
injection
Opposite to the tooth apex,
at a point made by the long
axis of the tooth and the
buccal vestibule
Needle bevel toward the
bone
Onset is 3-5mn. and working
.time is 20 – 30 minutes

No need for lesser

14. Infiltration - Palate
Indications
Limited area
Hemostasis
Contraindications
More than 2 teeth
Inflammation/infection
at site
Advantages
Hemostasis
Minimal area affected
Disadvantages
Potentially
traumatic
15. Infiltration - Palate
Technique
Apply topical, pressure
Insert into gingiva in center of area
mm from gingival margin 5-10(Aspirate (positive results are rare
Inject 0.2-.3 ml, slowly
18. Greeter palatine nerve block
Between upper
2nd and 3rd molars.
Midway between
the median
palatine raphae
and the free
.gingival margin
19. Posterior superior nerve block
Distal to the 2nd
molar, posterior to the
tuberosity, at 45
degrees
Aspirate first,
Pterygoid plexus of
veins.

Contraindication
Risk of hemorrhage is too great
