2. Maxillary nerve blocks maxillary nerve blocks include : Posterior superior alveolar nerve block. Nasopalatine nerve bock. Anterior palatine nerve block. Middle superior nerve block. Anterior superior alveolar nerves. Infraorbital nerve block. Greater palatine nerve block.

3. Posterior superior alveolar nerve block

4. NERVES ANESTHESIZED Posterior superior alveolar nerve

5. AREAS ANESTHESIZED The maxillary molars with the exception of the mesiobuccal root of the 1 st molar ; the buccal alveolar process of the maxillary molars, including the overlying structures_ periosteum , connective tissue , and mucous membrane.

6. ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS Mucobuccal fold and its concavity. Zygomatic process of maxilla. Infratemporal surface of the maxilla. Tuberosity of maxilla. Anterior border and coronoid process of the ramus of mandible.

7. indications For operative procedures of the molar teeth and supporting structures. This injection must be combined with palatal injection for extractions or when instrumentation extends into this area.

8. NEEDLE PATHWAY DURING INSERTION The needle penetrates the mucosa , areolar tissue, and possibly the buccal pad of fat. It penetrates the posterior fibers of the buccinator muscle.

9. APPROXIMATING STRUCTURES WHEN NEEDLE IS IN POSITION. When needle is in final position, it should be as follows: posterior to the posterior surface of maxilla anterior to pterygoid plexus of veins anterior and lateral to anterior margin of external pterygoid muscle. The needle will be in proximity to the posterior superior alveolar canal through which the posterior superior alveolar artery, vein and nerve pass .

10. TECHNIQUE FOR RIGHT SIDE The operator stands on the right side of patient. The patient is positioned such that maxillary occlusal plane is at 45-degree angle to the floor The operator moves the left forefinger over the mucobuccal fold in a posterior direction from the bicuspid area until the zygomatic process of maxilla is reached. At its posterior surface the fingertip will rest in a concavity in the mucobuccal fold. At this particular point the left forefinger is rotated so that the fingernail is adjacent to the mucosa and its bulbous portion is still in contact with the posterior surface of zygomatic process Now after hand is lowered, with the finger keeping the bullous portion still in contact with the zygomatic process so that the fingernail is adjacent to the mucosa and its bullous portion is still in contact with the posterior surface of the zygomatic process. Now the hand is lowered, with the finger keeping the bullous portion still in contact with the zygomatic process so that the finger is in a plane at right angles to the occlusal surfaces of the maxillary teeth and at a 45-degree angle to the patient sagittal plane. One can best accomplish this by having the patient partially close the mouth so that the lip and cheek can be extended laterally and posteriorly. The index finger should be pointing in the exact direction the needle is to follow. The area of insertion should be dried and painted with a suitable antiseptic solution. A previously loaded syringe, with a 1^5/8-inch,25-guage needle, is held in pen grasp and inserted into tissue in a line parallel with the index finger and bisecting the fingernail. The insertion is made with a distance of about ½ to ¾ inch , going upward , inward and backward . This should place the needle point in the immediate vicinity of the foramina through which the nerves enter the maxilla. After aspirating and making certain that the needle is not within a vessel , the operator slowly injects the contents of the cartridge while maintaining the position of needle throughout. Analgesia of the 1 st 2 nd 3 rd maxillary molars, including the buccal alveolar process , periosteum and mucosa should be obtained. This however will not include the mesiobuccal root if 1 st molar , which is innervated by branches of middle superior alveolar nerve. This root and supporting tissues can be anesthetized by infiltrating buccally over involved root.

11. TECHNIQUE FOR LEFT SIDE For injection on the left side the operator stands on the right side of patient, and the left arm is passed around the patient’s head so that the area may be palpated with the left forefinger. The technique for injection after palpation is the same as that for the right side.

12. SYMPTOMS OF ANESTHESIA Subjective symptoms : None Objective symptoms : Instrumentation necessary to demonstrate absence of pain sensation.

13. Nasopalatine nerve block

14. NERVES ANESTHESIZED Nasopalatine nerve block as it emerges from greater palatine foramen .

15. AREAS ANESTHESIZED The anterior portion of the hard palate and overlying structures back to the bicuspid area, where branches of the anterior palatine nerve causing forward create a dual innervation.

16. ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS Central incisor teeth. Incisive papilla in the midline of palate

17. INDICATIONS To supplement the block of the anterior and middle superior alveolar nerves To augment analgesia of the six maxillary incisors. To complete analgesia of the nasal septum.

18. TECHNIQUE The nasopalatine nerve block is an extremely painful injection unless a preparatory injection is made. The preparatory injection is made by inserting a 1 inch 25-guage needle into the labial intraseptal tissue between the maxillary central incisors. The needle is inserted at right angle to the labial plate and passed into the tissues until resistance is met; then 0.25 ml of anesthetic solution is deposited. The needle is inserted at right angle to the labial plate and passed into the tissues until resistance is met; then 0.25 ml of anesthetic solution is deposited. The needle is then withdrawn and reinserted slowly into the crest of the papilla, making certain that it is in line with the labial alveolar plate The needle is then advanced slowly into the incisive foramen, about 0.25 to 0.5 ml should be injected very slowly to prevent distention of the surrounding tissues. For securing mucous membrane anesthesia before the insertion of the needle into the incisive papilla, the jet-injector can be used. This instrument will produce a small area of surface anesthesia through which the needle can be introduced painlessly to anesthetize the nasopalatine nerve

21. A property made nasopalatine nerve block will anesthetize the palatal tissues of the six anterior teeth .some authors believe that if the needle is carried far enough into the canal, the six anterior teeth can be anesthetized for operative dentistry by any one injection alone.

22. SYMPTOMS OF ANESTHESIA Subjective symptoms. Feeling of numbness in palate when contacted with tongue. Objective symptoms. Instrumentation necessary to demonstrate absence of pain sensation.

23. Anterior palatine nerve block

24. NERVES ANESTHESIZED Anterior palatine nerve as it leaves the greater palatine foramen.

25. AREAS ANESTHESIZED Posterior portion of the hard palate and over lying structures up to first bicuspid area on the side injected the first bicuspid area, branches of the nasopalatine nerve will be meet.

26. ANATOMICAL LANDNARKS 2 nd and 3 rd maxillary molars. Palatal gingival margin of 2 nd and 3 rd maxillary molars. Midline of palate. A line approximately 1cm from the palatal gingival margin toward the midline of palate

27. INDICATIONS For palatal anesthesia to be used in conjunction with the posterior superior alveolar block or middle superior alveolar nerve block. For surgery of the posterior portion of hard palate.

28. TECHNIQUE

29. The needle should be inserted very slowly until the palatal bone is contacted. The anesthetic solution, 0.25 to 0.5 ml, is injected very slowly. It will be advantageous to insert the needle and deposit the solution so that the anterior palatine nerve will be anesthetized anteriorly to the foramen.This nerve may be blocked at any point along its anterior course after emergence from the foramen. Anesthesia of the mucoperiosteum of the palate will be obtained forward from the area of injection. In many instances when the bicuspid area is to be anesthesized , it is advantageous to insert the needle and deposit the solution in the palatal curvature opposite the bicuspids. This will ensure anesthetizing the area that often receives dual innervation from the anterior palatine nerve coursing forward and the nasopalatine nerve extending posteriorly.

30. The anterior palatine nerve emerges onto the palate through the greater palatine foramen and courses forward in a groove parallel to the maxillary molar teeth. The greater palatine foramen is situated between the second and third molar teeth about 1cm from the palatal gingival margin towards the midline. The greater palatine foramen is approached from the opposite side with a 1-inch,25 gauge needle, which is kept as near to a right angle as possible with the curvature of the palatal bone. In many instances when the bicuspid area is to be anesthesized , it is advantageous to insert the needle and deposit the solution in the palatal curvature opposite the bicuspids. This will ensure anesthetizing the area that often receives dual innervation from the anterior palatine nerve coursing forward and the nasopalatine nerve extending posteriorly.

31. SYMPTOMS OF ANESTHESIA Subjective symptoms . Feeling of numbness in posterior palate when contacted with the tongue. Objective symptoms. Instrumentation necessary to demonstrate the absence of pain sensation .

32. ANTERIOR AND MIDDLE SUPERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE BLOCK

33. NERVES ANESTHETIZED Infraorbital nerves. Inferior palpebral, lateral nasal and superior nasal, and superior labial nerves Anterior and middle superior alveolar nerves Sometimes posterior superior alveolar nerve

34. AREAS ANESTHETIZED Incisors and bicuspids on the side injected. Labial alveolar plate and overlying tissues. Upper lip, portions of side of nose, and lower eyelid. Sometimes maxillary molars and their buccal supporting structures.

35. ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS Pupil of eye Infraorbital ridge Infraorbital notch Infraorbital depression

36. INDICATIONS When the anterior and middle superior alveolar nerves are to be anesthesized and the infraorbital approach is not possible because of infection, trauma, or other reasons. When attempts to secure anesthesia by the intraoral methods have been ineffective.

37. TECHNIQUE Using the available landmarks, the dentist should locate and mark the position of the infraorbital foramen. The skin and subcutaneous tissues should be anesthesized by local infiltration. A 1½-inch, 25-guage needle attached to an aspirating syringe is inserted through the marked and anesthesized area. Directing the needle directly upward and laterally facilitates its entrance into the foramen, which opens downward and medially the foramen, which opens downward and medially. With a slight, gently probing motion the foramen is located and entered to a depth not to exceed 1/8 inch. After careful aspiration, 1ml of anesthetic solution is slowly injected. When the infraorbital nerve block by means of the extra oral approach is being performed, the needle passes through the following structures: Skin Subcutaneous tissue Quadratus labii superioris muscle When the needle is in position for this injection, the important structures near it are the facial artery and vein, which since they are very tortuous, may lie on either side of the needle.

38. SYMPTOMS OF ANESTHESIA Subjective symptoms: Tingling and numbness of the upper lip, side of nose, and lower eyelid. Objective symptoms : Instrumentation necessary to demonstrate the absence of pain sensation.
