In this webinar, Kathy Bassett provides practical advice for achieving success with local anesthesia in the mandibular arch. Learn what techniques to adopt and how to anticipate common failures.
Success with Local Anesthesia: Mandibular Arch
Presenter
Learning Objectives
- Describe the relevance of the anatomy and histology of the pterygomandibular triangle
- Identify factors that may lead to the failure of common mandibular block techniques
- Contrast the anatomical factors impacting common Halstead mandibular blocks with block techniques like “High Block,” “Short Needle,” Akinosi, Gow-Gates, retromolar and PDL-IA
- Visualize unconventional anatomical features of the mandible that may be leveraged to achieve profound anesthesia and quick onset rescue injections
- Apply knowledge of relevant mandibular anatomy to alternative injection techniques
