Exam 18: Anatomy of Intraoral Injections

The needle should always be placed into the greater palatine foramen to ensure proper anesthesia of the greater palatine nerve.

The infraorbital nerve in the floor of the orbit gives rise to the anterior superior alveolar nerve.

When present, which of the following structures would be innervated by the middle superior alveolar nerve? (Select all that apply.)

Match the nerves to their area of distribution. An answer can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Infraorbital nerve

Match the nerves to their area of distribution. An answer can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Lingual gingiva of the mandibular central incisor tooth

Match the nerves with the teeth and surrounding soft tissue they supply. There is more than one answer, and nerves can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Maxillary first premolar

The posterior superior alveolar nerve innervates the maxillary molar teeth with the possible exception of the mesial buccal root of the first molar.

Anesthetic deposited medial to the sphenomandibular ligament would render which of the following structures insensitive?

Which of the following areas would be rendered insensitive from a long buccal nerve block?

Which of the following nerves must be anesthetized in order to render the palatal gingiva of the maxillary premolar teeth insensitive?

Match the nerves to their area of distribution. An answer can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Nasopalatine nerve

When performing a posterior superior alveolar nerve block, which of the following structures would most likely be damaged by the aberrant placement of the needle? (Select all that apply.)

Match the nerves to their area of distribution. An answer can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Greater palatine nerve

The supraperiosteal technique is used to anesthetize the terminal branches of mandibular teeth.

Match the nerves to their area of distribution. An answer can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Buccal gingiva of mandibular first molar tooth

Match the nerves with the teeth and surrounding soft tissue they supply. There is more than one answer, and nerves can be used once, more than once, or not at all. -Maxillary central incisors

In addition to the inferior alveolar nerve, which of the following need to be anesthetized for dental procedures of the mandibular molars and surrounding soft tissues? (Select all that apply.)

Which of the following structures would likely be rendered insensitive by a posterior superior alveolar nerve block? (Select all that apply.)

What is the best technique for preventing damage to blood vessels when performing an intraoral injection?

Which of the following structures would be anesthetized by a successful infraorbital nerve block? (Select all that apply.)
