1
New cards

what is division I and where does it exit

ophthalmic and exits thru superior orbital fissure

2
New cards

what is division II and where does it exit

Maxillary and exits thru the foramen rotundum

Mandibular and exits thru foramen Ovale

4
New cards

why is the pterygopalatine space important

5
New cards

where is the pterygopalatine space loacted

anterior to the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid and posterior to the maxilla

6
New cards

what nerve branches does the maxilla bone have that we will be anesthetizing

7
New cards

is it easier to penetrate maxillary or mandibular bone

maxillary (it is tissue paper thin)

8
New cards

what landmarks on the maxilla are associated w LA (3)

incisive foramen, alveolar canals, and infraorbital foramen

9
New cards

what parts of the palatine bone is important for LA

greater palatine f. and lesser palatine f.

10
New cards

what landmarks on the mandible are associated w LA

mental foramen, mandibular foramen and coronoid notch

11
New cards

mental f is where what nerve exits the mandible

mental nerve

12
New cards

what nerve enters the mandible via mandibular foramen

13
New cards

the coronoid notch is the location for the thumb when identifying the

inferior alveolar n insertion point

14
New cards

what is the function of CN V division I (sensory)

provides sensory to skin of upper 1/3 of face and maxillary sinus

15
New cards

what is the function of CN V division II (sensory)

sensory to middle 1/3 of face and palate and pulp of maxillary teeth

16
New cards

what is the function of CN V division III (sensory + motor)

sensory: to the lower 1/3 of face, floor of the mouth, and anterior 2/3 of tongue

Motor: muscles of mastication + retracts mandible

17
New cards

where does the greater palatine n pass thru

passes thru the palatine bone via greater palatine foramen

18
New cards

greater palatine n is the sensation to what

posterior 2/3 of palate and gingiva to the maxillary posterior teeth

19
New cards

where does the lesser palatine n pass thru

passes thru palatine bone via lesser palatine foramen

20
New cards

lesser palatine nerves gives sensation to

soft palate and tonsils

21
New cards

Nasopalatine passes through

maxilla thru incisive foramen

22
New cards

nasopalatine gives sensory to the

anterior 1/3 of palate, and gingiva of maxillary anterior teeth

23
New cards

PSA branches off in the

pterygopalatine space

24
New cards

PSA gives sensory to

pulp, PDL, alveolar bone of max molars (except MB root of max 1st) and buccal gingiva and mucosa

25
New cards

PSA is anesthesized by

PSA nerve block

26
New cards

Infraorbital n exits maxilla via

infraorbital foramen

27
New cards

if LA is deposited into the infraorbital nerve, what other nerves will be blocked

MSA and ASA

28
New cards

MSA provides sensory to

pulp, PDL, alveolar bone, facial gingiva of max premolars + MB root of max 1st

29
New cards

MSA travels from the __________ nerve through the ______________________________ and enters teeth through ___________________

infraorbital nerve, alveolar canals, apical foramina

30
New cards

how can MSA be anesthetized

either thru MSA block or IO block

31
New cards

ASA provides sensory to

pulp, PDL, alveolar bone and facial gingiva to the anteriors and part of the sinus

32
New cards

ASA travels from the __________ nerve through the ______________________________ and enters teeth through ___________________

infraorbital nerve, alveolar canals, apical foramina

33
New cards

ASA can be anesthetized by either

ASA filtration or IO block

34
New cards

zygomatic nerve branches off in the _____________and enters via_______________________

pterygopalatine space and enters via inferior orbital fissure

35
New cards

zygomatic nerve provides sensory to skin on

side of the forehead and cheeks

36
New cards

what are the 2 branches of the zygomatic nerve

Zygomaticofacial nerve

Zygomaticotemporal nerve

37
New cards

the auriculotemporal n gives afferent and proprioceptive fibers to

TMJ, skin of outer ear, and lateral aspect of the skull

38
New cards

auriculotemporal n is anesthetized with 2 options

Gow gates block and sometimes with inferior alveolar block

39
New cards

buccal nerve is sensory to

mucosa, skin of the cheek, and buccal gingiva of mand molars

40
New cards

buccal nerve is anesthetized by

buccal n block

41
New cards

lingual n provides sensory to

floor of mouth, lingual gingiva of mand teeth and anterior 2/3 of tongue

42
New cards

lingual n is anesthetized by

Inferior alveolar block

43
New cards

inferior alveolar n provides sensory to

pulp of mand teeth to midline, supporting bone/ PDL (w the help of terminal branches the facial gingiva and labial mucosa of anteriors and premolars)

44
New cards

inferior alveolar n enters mandible via ______________ and enters teeth via ____________________
