MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The buccal bone of the maxilla is much less porous than that of the mandible. This makes it
easier for the anesthetic solution to penetrate the buccal bone of the maxilla and reach the
apices of the maxillary teeth.
a. Both statements are true.
b. The first statement is true; the second statement is false.
c. The first statement is false; the second statement is true.
d. Both statements are false.
ANS: C
The buccal bone of the maxilla is much more porous than that of the mandible.

anesthesia | To understand the anatomy associated with mandibular blocks

2. None of the following anesthetics can be used for mandibular supraperiosteal injections
EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
a. Lidocaine
b. Articaine
c. Mepivacaine
d. Prilocaine
ANS: B
Only articaine effectively penetrates the mandibular bone. One cannot use lidocaine,
mepivacaine, or prilocaine which are the most common local anesthetic agents because they
do not effectively penetrate the denser mandibular bone.

3. All of the following are major concerns with nerve blocks EXCEPT one. Which one is the
EXCEPTION?
a. Bruising
b. Injecting into a blood vessel
c. Tearing a blood vessel
d. Puncturing a nerve
ANS: A
, Anesthetic solution injected into a blood vessel continues on the path of that blood vessel.
Anesthetic delivered into the posterior alveolar vein travels into the facial vein and the
maxillary vein both leading into the internal jugular vein and then into the brachiocephalic
vein and eventually to the lungs and the heart where it is pumped all over the body. A patient
could therefore feel numbness in their toes, ears, or even fingers. If this anesthetic contained a
vasoconstrictor unwanted serious cardiovascular events could result. Everything from fainting
to a stroke or even a heart attack could occur.

4. A crossover effect is created when nerves and blood vessels do not stop at the midline because
some nerve branches crossover into an area innervated by another adjacent nerve.
a. Both the statement and the reason are correct and related.
b. Both the statement and the reason are correct but are NOT related.
c. The statement is correct, but the reason is NOT correct.
d. The statement is NOT correct, but the reason is correct.
e. NEITHER the statement NOR the reason is correct.
ANS: A
If the crossover nerve comes from the right side at the midline, it innervates something on the
left side. Giving an anesthetic on the left side in this case does not work because the nerve that
crossed over from the right innervates this area. When dealing with anesthetics in the areas of
the central incisors it is sometimes necessary to anesthetize both sides due to this crossover
effect. Crossover nerves occur not only at the midline but between areas affected by different
nerve branches. A crossover effect can also occur at the junction between areas adjacent to
each other but typically innervated by two different nerve branches. If one nerve block does
not affect the desired target area, a second nerve block (that normally serves the adjacent area)
might be required.

5. There are three palatal nerve blocks that provide anesthesia to the palatal periodontium and
gingiva; they affect only the lingual tissues.
a. Both statements are true.
b. The first statement is true; the second statement is false.
c. The first statement is false; the second statement is true.
d. Both statements are false.
ANS: C
There are two palatal nerve blocks that provide anesthesia to the palatal periodontium and
gingiva (nasopalatine and greater palatine). Neither of these two blocks anesthetizes the pulp
of teeth nor the associated buccal periosteum and gingiva; only lingual tissues are affected.
