Presentation Transcript

  1. PALATAL ANESTHESIA

  2. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Anterior Palatine Nerve Posterior portion of hard palate and overlying soft tissues Anteriorly to 1st premolar Medially to midline

  3. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Indications Pain control in posterior palatal hard and/or soft tissues Contraindications Inflammation / infection at injection site Only small area necessary (eg. 1-2 teeth)

  4. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Advantages Minimizes penetrations and discomfort Minimizes volume of solution (0.5 ml) Disadvantages Limited hemostasis Potentially traumatic

  5. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Alternatives Local infiltration in each area Maxillary Nerve Block Aspiration < 1% positive

  6. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Landmarks Greater palatine foramen Junction of alveolus and palatine bone Area of Insertion Soft tissue anterior to foramen, from opposite side

  7. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Precautions Do notenter canal Signs & symptoms Numb posterior palate; painfree treatment Safety features Bone contacted; aspiration

  8. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Technique Position - open wide, extend & turn head Cotton swab - identify landmarks, topical Approach - bevel to tissue, advance to bone Aspirate; inject 0.5 ml slowly

  9. Greater Palatine Nerve Block Failure Overlap of fibers from Nasopalatine nerve Injection too anterior Complications Soft tissue ischemia / necrosis Post injection pain, hematoma

  10. NASOPALATINE NERVE BLOCK

  11. Nasopalatine Nerve Block Indications Pain control in anterior hard and/or soft tissues Contraindications Inflammation / infection at injection site Only small area necessary (eg. 1-2 teeth)

  12. Nasopalatine Nerve Block Advantages Minimizes needle penetrations Minimizes volume of solution (0.4 ml) Disadvantages Limited hemostasis Potentially traumatic

  13. Nasopalatine Nerve Block Alternatives Local infiltration Maxillary Nerve Block Aspiration < 1% positive

  14. Nasopalatine Nerve Block Precautions Do not inject directly into papilla/canal Inject slowly, with small volume Signs / symptoms Numb anterior palate; painfree treatment Safety features Bone contacted; aspiration

  15. Nasopalatine Nerve Block Technique Position - open wide, extend head Landmarks - incisive papilla, central incisors Approach - lateral to incisive papilla, starting with cotton swab, topical Deposit approx. 0.4 ml / 30 sec

  16. Nasopalatine Nerve Block Failure May be only unilateral May have overlap with Greater Palatine Complications Ischemia, tissue necrosis Others rare
