Maxillary Nerve Block: Anesthesia For Dental Procedures
TLDRIn this informative video, Dr. Hinna from Dr Teeth channel educates dental students on the importance of maxillary nerve blocks for dental procedures. She explains the areas numbed by different blocks, such as the infra orbital nerve block, which anesthetizes the anterior teeth up to the mesobuccal root of the first molar, and the posterior superior alveolar nerve block, which covers all molars except the mesiobuccal root of the first molar. Dr. Hinna also discusses the middle superior alveolar nerve block, greater palatine nerve block, nasopalatine nerve block, and anterior middle superior alveolar nerve block, detailing their specific applications. The video provides a comprehensive guide for dental professionals to ensure effective anesthesia for various dental treatments, emphasizing the need for a combination of blocks for certain procedures.

If a dentist needs to extract the maxillary first molar, which nerve blocks would be given?
-For extracting the maxillary first molar, the dentist would typically give a PSNF block, a middle superior alveolar nerve block, and a greater palatine nerve block (GP nerve block).
What is the coverage area of the greater palatine nerve block?
-The greater palatine nerve block (GP) covers the area from the midline anteriorly to the premolar and posteriorly to the last molar, including the bone and soft tissues, the posterior hard palate, and its overlying soft tissues up to the first premolar and medially to the midline.
Which nerve block is used to anesthetize the anterior portion of the hard palate and what is it called?
-The nasopalatine nerve block, also known as the NP block, is used to anesthetize the anterior portion of the hard palate from the mesial aspect of the first premolar to the mesial aspect of the first premolar bilaterally.
What does the anterior middle superior alveolar nerve block (AMSA) anesthetize?
-The anterior middle superior alveolar nerve block (AMSA) anesthetizes the entire palatal as well as the buccal aspect of the anterior teeth, including the pulpal anesthesia of the maxillary incisors, canines, and premolars, and the buccal attached gingiva of these teeth.
Which nerve block covers the largest area and includes the hard and soft palate?
-The maxillary nerve block covers the largest area and includes the hard and soft palate, buccal surface, all the teeth, and also the lower eyelid, side of the nose, and upper lip.
What additional resources are available for dental students to enhance their understanding of nerve blocks?
-Additional resources for dental students include notes in the description box of the video, Dr. Hinna's Instagram page for further notes, channel membership for exclusive videos, and the prime series on the website for covering the syllabus.
How can viewers request more detailed coverage of specific nerve blocks not covered in the video?
-Viewers can request more detailed coverage of specific nerve blocks by letting Dr. Hinna know in the comments section of the video, and she will try her best to address those in future videos.
What is the importance of understanding the areas numbed by a nerve block in dental procedures?
-Understanding the areas numbed by a nerve block is crucial for dental procedures as it ensures that the dentist can work on a specific set of teeth without causing pain or discomfort to the patient, and it also helps in planning the appropriate anesthesia for different dental treatments.

🦷 Maxillary Nerve Block Overview
This paragraph introduces the topic of maxillary nerve block, emphasizing its significance for dental procedures. Dr. Hinna, the host of the channel 'Dr. Teeth', welcomes viewers and encourages them to subscribe for more dental education content. The video focuses on explaining which areas are numbed by the nerve block, allowing for specific dental work. The infra orbital nerve block, also known as the anterior superior alveolar nerve block, is discussed first, detailing the areas it anesthetizes, including the maxillary central incisor, canine, and the mesobuccal root of the first molar. It also anesthetizes the lower eyelid, lateral aspect of the nose, and upper lip. The posterior superior alveolar nerve block (PSNF block) is then introduced, covering all molars except the mesial root of the first molar and associated structures. The paragraph concludes with a discussion on nerve blocks required for extracting the maxillary first molar, including the PSNF block, the greater palatine nerve block (GP), and the middle superior alveolar nerve block.
🌟 Advanced Nerve Blocks for Dental Procedures
The second paragraph delves into additional nerve blocks used in dental anesthesia. The greater palatine nerve block (GP) is described, highlighting its extensive coverage from the midline anteriorly to the last molar posteriorly, including both bone and soft tissues. The nasopalatine nerve block (NP) is then introduced, focusing on its role in anesthetizing the anterior portion of the hard palate. The anterior middle superior alveolar nerve block (AMSA) is detailed for its effect on the palatal and buccal aspects of anterior teeth, including the maxillary incisors, canines, and premolars. The maxillary nerve block is also discussed for its comprehensive coverage of the entire quadrant on the injected side, including the hard and soft palate, buccal surface, and associated soft tissues. The paragraph concludes with a summary of the nerve blocks covered and a reminder that detailed notes and further resources are available on the channel's website and Instagram page. It also invites viewers to join channel membership for exclusive content and suggests checking out separate videos for detailed techniques, indications, and contraindications of the nerve blocks.
