Local Anesthesia Inferior Alveolar Injection DHYG 149 PAIN CONTROL
Welcome to Dental Analgesia This is a self-paced learning module designed for the student wishing to prepare for or review the inferior alveolar injection technique. The inferior alveolar injection is the most common local anesthesia injection given. It is also a required performance for the Western Regional Examining Board Anesthesia Exam.

Overview • Indications • Mandibular anatomy • Inferior alveolar injection technique • Problems and corrections • Lab exercise • Basic injection technique
Indications • Procedures involving multiple mandibular teeth • Procedures requiring lingual anesthesia
IA nerve and lingual nerve will be anesthetized Target point is slightly above mandibular foramen Coronoid notch is a guiding landmark IA nerve Coronoid notch Mandibular foramen Lingualnerve Evers, p. 76 Mandibular Anatomy
Provides sensory innervation to: Lower teeth on one side Buccal bone from premolars to incisors Soft tissue of lip and chin Mandibular foramen Mental foramen Evers, p. 71 Inferior Alveolar Nerve
Provides sensory innervation to: Lingual soft tissue Anterior two-thirds of tongue Lingual Nerve Mandibular foramen Lingual nerve Evers p. 72
Tissues Anesthetized • Molars • Premolars • Canines • Incisors • Lingual soft tissue • Tongue • Buccal soft tissue from mental foramen to midline Evers, p. 87
Target Point Medial pterygoid muscle Pterygomandibular Space The soft tissues in the vicinity of the injection site form a space which should be identified. Evers, p 72
Parotid gland Medial pterygoid muscle Lingual nerve Pterygoid raphe IA nerve Correct Needle Pathway The barrel of the syringe should be over the opposite premolars. Bone should be contacted prior to depositing anesthetic.
Parotid gland Medial pterygoid muscle Lingual nerve Pterygoid raphe IA nerve Incorrect Needle Pathway The barrel of the syringe is lying over the incisors. This error directs the needle posterior to the target point, possibly resulting in trismus or facial nerve paralysis.
Parotid gland Medial pterygoid muscle Lingual nerve Pterygoid raphe IA nerve Incorrect Needle Pathway • The barrel of the syringe is lying over the molars. This error results in premature contact of bone and failure of anesthesia.
Intraoral Landmarks The pterygoid raphe and the coronoid notch form an imaginary triangle. It is in approximately the center of this triangle that the needle should inserted. Pterygoid raphe Coronoid notch Evers, p. 80
Insertion Point Insert needle into the depression or imaginary triangle between the pterygoid raphe and the coronoid process 1 centimeter above the mandibular occlusal plane. Evers. P 81
Advance needle until bone is contacted. Target Point Evers p 77 Evers, p77 Evers p 84
Deposition • You are ready to deposit the anesthetic. Don’t forget to: • Aspirate in two planes • Deposit at a rate of 1 ml/minute • Deposit 3/4 to 1 full cartridge
Failures of Anesthesia Problem • Deposited below mandibular foramen • Deposited anterior to mandibular foramen • Deposited posterior to mandibular foramen Correction • Reinject at height of triangle • Bring barrel of syringe mesially over premolars • Bring barrel distally over premolars and contact bone Review technique
Lab Exercise Practice this injection at your next lab. Remember: • Use 25 gauge needle for this injection • Look for intraoral landmarks • Visualize mandibular anatomy • Apply the basics of all injection techniques
Basic Injection Technique • Review patient health history, medications and vitals • Determine injection technique based on procedure to be performed • Select appropriate anesthetic
Basic Injection Technique continued • Prepare syringe • use 25, 27, or 30 gauge needle • use aspirating syringe • Check flow of anesthetic • Position patient • Dry tissue • Apply topical antiseptic (optional)
Basic Injection Technique, continued • Apply topical anesthetic • Establish fulcrum • Stretch tissue • Keep syringe out of patient’s sight • Insert needle • Advance needle • Aspirate in two planes 11 12 13 14 15
Basic Injection Techniquecontinued • Slowly deposit anesthetic • Withdraw syringe • Observe patient • Record injection and anesthetic in patient’s chart • Always communicate with patient throughout entire procedure 16 17 18 19 20
