8. Techniques of Maxillary Anesthesia
 Supraperisoteal infiltration : for limited treatment protocol
 Periodontal ligament injection as adjunct to other techniques
 Intraseptal injection: for periodontal surgical techniques
 Intraosseous injection: for single teeth
 Posterior superior alveolar nerve block: for several molar teeth in one
quadrant
 Middle superior alveolar nerve block: for premolar in one quadrant
 Anterior superior alveolar(Infraorbital ) nerve block: for anterior teeth
in one quadrant
 Maxillary (Second division) nerve block: for extensive buccal, palatal
and pulpal management in one quadrant

tissue treatment distal to canine in one quadrant

from canine to canine bilaterally

“Depression” created by greater palatine foramen which is located
usually distal to maxillary 2nd
Molar .
