SUPRAPERIOSTEAL INJECTION
(BUCCAL INFILTRATION)
• NERVES AND AREAS ANESTHETIZED
• INDICATIONS
o One or two teeth procedure
o Soft tissue procedure of circumscribed area
• CONTRAINDICATIONS
o Inflammation of the area
o Dense bone covering the apex of teeth
• ADVANTAGES
o High success rate
o Easy method
o Atraumatic
• DISADVANTAGES
o Not recommended for large area
• STEPS FOR BUCCAL INFILTRATION
1. Retract lip/cheek with mirror or finger
2. Point of insertion of needle
• AREA
Needle is inserted directly
into the pulp chamber or
the root canal and LA is injected.
INTRAOSSEOUS INJECTION
• AREA
LA solution is deposited directly into the cancellous bone
adjacent to the tooth to be anesthetised.
• INDICATION
single teeth (primarily mandibular molars) when other
techniques have failed.
• DISADVANTAGE:
Specialised equipment and technique.
INTRASEPTAL ANESTHESIA
• A variation of intraosseous anesthesia.
• TECHNIQUE
1. Needle is forced gently into the porous interseptal bone on
either side of the tooth to be anesthetised.
2. The local anesthetic solution is then forced under pressure
into the cancellous bone.
• INDICATION
periodontal surgical techniques.
