Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
What is the Vazirani-Akinosi (VA) technique used for?
Anesthetizing the IAN, lingual, and long buccal nerve simultaneously
Anesthetizing the maxillary nerve
Anesthetizing the mandibular nerve
Anesthetizing the glossopharyngeal nerve
What are the indications for VA technique?
Patients with restricted mouth opening
Cases of failure of IAN blocks
Difficult-to-locate landmarks for IAN block
All of the above
Why is the percentage of positive aspiration higher with IAN block compared to VA?
Due to the close proximity of the inferior alveolar artery
Due to the close proximity of the maxillary artery
Due to the close proximity of the lingual artery
Due to the close proximity of the facial artery
What is the Akinosi-Vazirani technique also known as?
Closed Mouth Technique
Open Mouth Technique
Gow-Gates Technique
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block
What is the technique used for mental nerve block?
Depositing the solution around the mental nerve as it exits the mandible at the mental foramen
Injecting the solution into the mandible through the mental foramen
Injecting the solution into the maxilla through the mental foramen
Depositing the solution around the maxillary nerve
What areas are anesthetized in mental nerve block?
Buccal mucosa and gingiva in the mandible anterior to the premolar area
Lower lip mucosa and skin on the same side
Mandibular teeth anterior to the mental foramen
All of the above
What is the technique used for posterior superior alveolar nerve block?
Inserting the needle into the height of the mucobuccal fold opposite the upper second molar tooth
Inserting the needle into the height of the mucobuccal fold opposite the lower second molar tooth
Inserting the needle into the height of the mucobuccal fold opposite the upper first molar tooth
Inserting the needle into the height of the mucobuccal fold opposite the lower first molar tooth
What areas are anesthetized in posterior superior alveolar nerve block?
Buccal alveolar mucosa and gingiva in relation to the maxillary molar teeth
All the three maxillary molar teeth
Mesiobuccal root of the first molar
All of the above
What is the technique used for infraorbital nerve block?
Inserting the needle into the mucosa medial to the mandibular ramus on a line parallel to a line drawn from the intertragic notch to the corner of the mouth
Inserting the needle into the mucosa lateral to the mandibular ramus on a line parallel to a line drawn from the intertragic notch to the corner of the mouth
Inserting the needle into the mucosa medial to the maxillary tuberosity on a line parallel to a line drawn from the intertragic notch to the corner of the mouth
Inserting the needle into the mucosa lateral to the maxillary tuberosity on a line parallel to a line drawn from the intertragic notch to the corner of the mouth
What areas are anesthetized in infraorbital nerve block?
Lower eyelid, lateral side of the nose, and the upper lip on the same side
Buccal gingiva and mucosa, as well as the upper anterior and premolar teeth on the same side
Mesiobuccal root of the first molar
All of the above
