2. Objectives
Knowledge of the classification of local
anesthesia
2. Indications for each technique
3. Details on how to perform different
techniques of local anesthesia
1.
3. L.A can be produced by the action of
L.A agent on either the free nerve
endings , the terminal nerve endings or
the main trunk of the nerve
4. TOPICAL ANAESTHESIA
It is the application of ointments or solution
containing L.A agent to accessible
structures e.g skin or mucous membrane .
Topical anaesthesia has a limited effect on
the free nerve endings
6. INFILTRATION ANAESTHESIA
I - Soft tissue infiltration anaesthesia
Submucosal
Para periosteal
Sub-periosteal infiltration
Field block (ring block)
II – Intra bony(intraosseous) infiltration
anaesthesia
7. I - Soft tissue infiltration
anaesthesia
1.
Submucous infiltration : accomplished by
inserting the needle beneath the
mucosal layer and depositing the
solution so that it diffuses in this
particular plane.
9. Intra-bony infiltration
Intra-osseous infiltration : the cortical
plate is penetrated and the solution is
injected into the spongy bone, thus
terminal nerve endings are anesthetized.
2. Inter-septal infiltration : needle is inserted
into the thin porous inter-septal bone on
either side of the tooth to be
anesthetized. The solution is then forced
under pressure into the cancellous bone.

10. NERVE BLOCK
ANAESTHESIA
The L.A solution is deposited in close
proximity to the main nerve trunk supplying
the operative field
12. Factors that influence the choice
of local anaesthetic technique
1) The area to be anaesthetized
2) Extent of the surgical procedures
3) Duration of the required anaesthesia

16. Factors affecting the maximum
effect of local anesthesia

drug : at least 8-10 mm of the nerve
should be in contact with the drug ( 2-3
nodes of Ranvier
2. Size of the nerve fiber : the larger the
fiber, the more difficult it is to be
anesthetized

The syringe should contain no air
In critical areas with neighboring blood vessels, use
aspiration syringe
Slow injection
The site of injection should be disinfected
Stretch the tissues on injection.
Follow shortest way inside tissue.
Never bend to change direction
19. Buccal and labial injections
The needle is inserted into a point
opposite to the tooth to be extracted, with
the bevel facing the cortical bone.
The needle is inserted 2 mm away from
the muco-buccal fold and at 45 degree to
the outer cortical plate till it touchs bone.

The point of insertion of the needle is
located on the palatal side of the tooth,
midway between the gingival margin and
the middle line of the palate.
The needle should be at right angle to the
vault of the palate. To achieve this, the
needle is derived from the opposite side.

above the muco-lingual fold to avoid
dissemination of the solution into the floor
of the mouth, 0.2 – 0.3 ml of the solution is
injected slowly.
35. Posterior Superior Alveolar N.B
