What does the PSA anesthetize?

The posterior superior alveolar (PSA) nerve block anesthetizes maxillary molar teeth (see image below). With the PSA nerve block, the first molar may not be completely anesthetized; in this case, the PSA nerve block can be used in conjunction with an MSA/supraperiosteal block.

How do you give an ASA nerve block?

Approach: While retracting the lip, insert the needle into the intersection of the mucobuccal fold and the apex/center of the canine at a 45-degree angle, advancing the needle approximately 1-1.5 cm. Aspirate. Slowly inject 2 mL of local anesthetic and massage for 10-20 seconds.

How long does a supraorbital nerve block last?

It is difficult to predict the duration of the supraorbital nerve block effect. Some people find almost immediate pain relief from migraine or shingles, lasting up to six weeks, while some may find no benefit.

Can a V3 block be used in maxillofacial surgery?

Despite a real clinical benefit (ease of implementation, latency and duration of action of the local anesthetic), the V3 block ropivacaine is not evaluated in the maxillofacial surgery. consumption of morphine (cumulative dose) during the first post operative 24 hours valued in mg [ Time Frame: 1 day ]

What should be the bevel of the syringe for anesthesia?

The bevel of the needle should be toward bone, and the syringe should be held parallel with the occlusal plane on the side of the injection. The needle is inserted into the soft tissue, and a few drops of anesthetic solution are administered.

Can a sensory lesion cause hypesthesia in the V2?

The most interesting finding of our case is that an evident boundary existed between the impaired sensory area (V2 and V3) and the intact sensory area (V1). As yet, it is not known whether or not a small lesion of the principal sensory nucleus can cause hypesthesia limited to the V2 and V3 areas based on “segmental distributions” of the face.

Is the mandibular nerve block used for general anesthesia?

The regional anesthesia of the face has grown in recent years for performing certain actions under light general anesthesia or sedation. The mandibular block is a simple and reliable technique but little used.
