This document provides information on various dental anesthesia techniques including nerve blocks, infiltrations, and palatal blocks. It discusses specific nerve blocks such as the anterior superior alveolar nerve block, greater palatine nerve block, maxillary division block, posterior superior alveolar nerve block, middle superior alveolar nerve block, and inferior alveolar nerve block. It also includes general information on the purposes, types, and uses of local anesthesia in dentistry.

13. ..BlockGOW Gates
Gow-Gates technique - Invented by Australian dentist George A.E. Gow-Gates in the
mid-1970s, the needle is directed at the neck of the condyle just under the insertion of
the lateral pterygoid muscle.This is used for more extensive anesthesia or when there
is failure of the IANB.
14. Block ..Akinosi
Vazirani-Akinosi technique - Invented by Sunder J. Vazirani in 1960
and later reintroduced in 1977 by Oyekunle J. Akinosi, a closed-
mouth injection technique, the syringe is "advanced parallel to the
maxillary occlusal plane at the level of the maxillary mucogingival
junction. This is used when the patient cannot open his mouth
enough for the IANB".
15. :Information'sGeneral
Dental anesthesia (or dental anaesthesia) is a field of anesthesia that
includes not only local anesthetics but sedation and general
anesthesia.
Types of local anesthesia in dentistry:
Nerve block — a common form of local dental anesthesia; blocks the
reception of pain in one region of the mouth at a time.
Infiltration- given inferior to the root the tooth involved in the dental
work; used usually for minor procedures such as restorations.
Palatal block- given into the hard palate using pressure anesthesia;
useful in anesthetizing the palate side of the maxillary teeth.
Intraosseous- an injection of local anesthetic given directly into the
osseous (bone) structure of the tooth for more involved dental
procedures such as surgery or endodontic therapy (root canals).
Intrapulpal- an injection of local anesthetic given directly into the
pulp of the tooth to completely desensitize the tooth.
Pressure anesthesia — pressure with a cotton swab in the area to
distract the nerve sensation of pain when the needle enters certain
areas such as palatal tissue.
Electrical nerve blocks— a technology that involves using electrical
current to block the reception or generation of pain signals; the pain
control can be transient.
Acupuncture or accupressure An alternative to chemical or electrical
blocks, but is rarely used.
