Maxillary Anesthesia I: Pulpal Anesthesia

3) Needle protrusion outside the greater palatine canal,
which also induces anesthetic failure for the following reasons.
The needle penetrates the greater palatine foramen
too far rearward, reaching the soft (nasal-
pharyngeal) palate. The clinician’s perception is an overly smooth injection and the patient’s a bitter taste in their throat because the liquid drips behind the soft palate and ultimately into the esophagus (Szerlip and Morristown1950; Saborido1977; Sved etal.1992).
The needle penetrates the anterior wall of the greater
palatine canal and the anesthetic solution is depos­ited in the maxillary sinus (Mercuri1979).
The needle penetrates the posterior wall of the greater
palatine canal and the anesthetic solution is depos­ited in the infratemporal fossa (formerly zygomatic fossa), to no anesthetic effect (Mercuri1979; Wong and Sved1991).
The needle penetrates the lateral/medial wall of the
canal and the tip enters the nasal-
pharynx and nasal cavity. In such cases, aspiration prior to injection may draw bubbles into the cartridge (a sign that the needle is in the nasal pharynx) and the patient begins to cough, with a bitter taste in their throat, and may bleed through the nose on the side injected (epistaxis) when the nee­dle penetrates the highly vascularized nasal mucosa (Saborido1977; Mercuri1979; Wong and Sved1991).
Note: As the osseous walls of the greater palatine canal tend to be very thin, they may be readily perfo­rated if the clinician forces the needle (Malamed and Trieger1983; Wong and Sved1991).
4) Visual and ocular alterations in the eye on the side
injected in around 10% of cases (Table14.5).
The cause of these complications is the use of very
long needles and/or the injection of large amounts of anesthetic solution, some of which reaches the upper area of the pterygopalatine fossa and may seep across the inferior orbital fissure, entering the eye socket and anesthetizing ocular nerves and muscles (Table14.5). For some authors these symptoms con­firm that the anesthetic has reached the maxillary nerve (V

thesia. This is the most common complication and in 90% of cases appears alone or with strabismus or a drooping eyelid (Sved etal.1992; Torres etal.2011).
Inability to coordinate and synchronize the move-
ments of the two eyes (strabismus) due to paralysis of the eye muscles (the lateral rectus muscle is the one most severely affected). It is usually attendant on diplopia, seldom appearing alone (Sved etal.1992).
Drooping upper eyelid (ptosis) due to anesthesia of
the branches of the oculomotor nerve in the upper eyelid. It is likewise usually attendant on diplopia, seldom appearing alone (Sved etal.1992).
Other rare complications include dilated pupil
(mydriasis), corneal anesthesia, blurred vision (Broering etal.2009), and, very exceptionally, tem­porary blindness due to optical nerve (cranial nerve II) anesthesia.
These complications generally disappear spontane-
ously with the effect of the anesthesia without any sequelae (Dickson and Coates 1945; Saborido1977; Mercuri1979).
Treatment in such cases consists of the following:
1) Reassure the patient that the effect will disappear
spontaneously with the effect of the anesthesia.
2) Place a protective patch over the eye for the
duration.
3) Advise the patient that they may not drive nor
operate hazardous machinery while the effect lasts.
5) The side of the face affected may also be pale and exhibit
blanching (ischemic paling). This is usually because the needle punctures or rubs against the internal maxillary artery that transmits through the upper part of the pterygopalatine fossa, causing spasm/contraction in all its branches and paling in the entire area of the face cov­ered by the artery. It is more readily visible in people with lighter skin (Mercuri1979). The patient may occa­sionally also feel a sudden burning sensation in the whole area. Note that the area covered by the internal maxillary artery is nearly parallel to the facial area innervated by the maxillary nerve (V
). Treatment in
2
these cases consists of reassuring the patient that the effect is temporary and will disappear spontaneously in a few minutes.
6) In 1% of cases the needle punctures the nerve inducing a
kind of electric shock, cramp, or intense burning sensa­tion in the posterior and medial half of the palate on the side injected, with no sequelae (Sved et al. 1992). No
chronic or long-
lasting lesions of this nature have been reported in clinical practice, despite their theoretical likelihood (Silverman 1923; Dickson and Coates1945; Mercuri1979; Wong and Sved1991), perhaps because the technique is seldom used.
7) With this technique:
Pain is less severe, especially during needle travel,
than in the alternative high tuberosity approach (Annex 23).
Moderate to severe post- operative pain around the
injection site may last 1–3 days in only 2% of individu­als (Broering et al. 2009), subsiding spontaneously with no sequelae.

Factors That Lead toSuccess
Three major factors determine the success of this tech­nique (Wong and Sved1991).
1) The greater palatine foramen on the posterior palate
must be located, which is not always a simple task.
2) The needle must travel a long enough distance to reach
the pterygopalatine fossa. If the needle is too short, as is often the case, the anesthetic solution fails to bathe the maxillary nerve (V Long needles measuring 42
), remaining rather in the canal.
2
mm are therefore needed.
3) A sufficient amount of anesthetic must be injected to
diffuse satisfactorily across the roof of the pterygopala­tine fossa. Clinicians tend not to use enough (Hofer1922b; Wong and Sved1991), despite the recom­mended two 1.8- ml cartridges or 3.6 ml.

Final Remarks
Buccal infiltration is by far the most common of the tech­niques used for pulpal anesthesia in the maxilla for its sim­plicity, safety, and efficacy. None of the other techniques is routinely used.
Of the two maxillary nerve (V transpalatal or greater palatine canal technique, which can be applied when the buccal cavity around molars and pre­molars is affected by acute infection (because the approach is from the palate), is deemed here to be more useful than the alternative high tuberosity approach. Moreover, it is simpler and less painful both during injection and in the
operative period.

Maxillary Anesthesia II: Complementary Anesthesia ofthe Palate
267
Introduction
Clinical experience shows that the buccal infiltrative tech­nique applied via the buccal area does not usually anesthe­tize the palate, therefore some interventions must be completed with anesthesia of the palate, hence the concept of complementary anesthesia of the palate. In any case it is important to remember that the palate is innervated and that the fibromucosa, periosteum, and bone are innervated by two nerve trunks:
The nasopalatine nerve, which emerges from the incisive
foramen, supplies the area of the palate at the incisive papilla and the areas close to the central and lateral incisors.
The greater palatine nerve, which emerges at the back
part of the palate via the greater palatine foramen, sup­plies the palate in the canine, premolar, and molar areas on each side as far as the raphe.
This chapter reviews three techniques for anesthetizing
the nerve trunks of the palate:
Nasopalatine nerve block and its intranasal variant.
Greater palatine nerve block and its variant in the area of
innervation extending from the first premolar to
cross­the lateral incisor.
Transpapillary technique for children.
Some of the characteristics of the techniques used to
anesthetize the palate are now reviewed.
The Nasopalatine Nerve Innervates Less than Previously Thought
Many texts continue to attribute a much greater area of innervation to the nasopalatine nerve than it actually has (Bennett1984; Jastak etal.1995; Malamed2004). Clinical
research has shown that the area between the lateral inci­sor and the first premolar is an area of cross-
innervation where the main supply is from the greater palatine nerve. Thus, the greater palatine nerve supplies the first premolar in 95% of cases, the canine in 75% of cases, and the lateral incisor in 50% (see Table2.1, Chapter2).
The Potency ofthe Anesthetic is not Important
The potency of the anesthetic solution, according to the type and concentration of the anesthetic and/or vasocon­strictor, is not important for ensuring anesthesia of these nerves via the palate because they are superficial and not covered by periosteum or cortical bone, therefore little anesthetic is required to anesthetize the area.
Anesthesia ofthe Palate Without Complementary Palatal Anesthesia
Clinical studies show that use of potent solutions such as articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:100
000 (10 μg/ml) (A- 100) in extractions in the area of the molars and premolars principally is successful in 94% of cases with the buccal infiltrative technique. This approach does not require complementary palatal anesthetic, although patients may complain of mild discomfort in the palate. However, when the standard solution is used (lidocaine 2% with epineph­rine 1:100 000) (L- 100), the success rate falls to 55% (Table 15.1). Some authors recommend waiting longer (7–9
minutes) for the solution to reach the palate. In addi­tion, this approach is more effective in anterior teeth than in posterior teeth (Kumaresan etal.2015).
Studies based on magnetic resonance imaging do not reveal diffusion of the anesthetic solution from the buccal area to the palate (Özec etal.2010); however, experimental

These techniques are not aimed at achieving pulpal anes-

anesthesia necessary for these extractions is lower than that needed in other procedures, such as endodontic proce­dures (Badcock et al. 2007). However, extraction of first molars may take longer (around 4 minutes) and be more complicated, although it is also successful, and extractions

Methods forReducing Pain inPalatal Techniques
Clinical observation tells us that injections into the palate are the most painful (Kramp etal.1999; Wahl etal.2001; Primosch and Brooks2002). Clinical studies confirm this observation (Annexes 19 and 23). This is because the pala­tal fibromucosa is formed by dense fibers, with little subcu­taneous tissue, and is firmly attached to the periosteum. Consequently, elasticity is minimal, the ability to spread
after administration is limited, and the technique is painful (Gill and Orr II 1979; Keller 1985; Kreider et al. 2001; Bhalla etal.2009). In addition, the anterior part of the pal­ate is known to be somewhat more painful than the poste­rior part, precisely because the fibromucosa is more firmly attached (Meechan etal.2005; Özec etal.2010).
Several methods are used to prevent or at least minimize the pain induced by injection into the palate. However, as expected, when several methods are available and no con­sensus has been reached on which is best, this is because neither is completely satisfactory.
Topical Anesthesia
Topical anesthesia is poorly effective in the palate, as shown in clinical trials (Annex 19). These poor results are due not only to previous comments (fibromucosa firmly attached to the periosteum), but also to the fact that because the mucous membrane of the palate is more keratinized, its permeability is lower than that of the rest of the oral mucous membrane (Lesch etal.1989), leading to reduced penetration of topical anesthetic.
In any case, topical anesthesia reduces the average per­ception of pain compared with placebo, although the dif­ferences are not significant.

Pressure Techniques
Conventional methods (Malamed2004)
These techniques involve applying firm and continuous pressure with a cotton swab (e.g. those used for application of topical anesthesia) on the surface of the mucous mem­brane of the palate to be injected for 20–30 seconds before insertion. The pressure should be sufficiently firm for the mucous membrane to change from its usual pink color to a white or pale color owing to the blanching caused by the pressure applied. The injection should be made very close to the head of the swab, and pressure should be maintained throughout the injection.
“Press and roll” technique (Kravitz2006)
Inform the patient that you are about to place topical anesthetic on the palate (optional, although it does reas­sure the patient) and that he/she will feel considerable pressure on the palate during the maneuver.
Dry the mucous membrane with a gauze.
Cover the area with topical anesthesia and leave it for

with the end of the shaft of a dental mirror.
Insert the needle while pressing it against the shaft of the
mirror, almost pushing it below the shaft and at the same time press with the shaft.
Inject a few drops of anesthetic and then turn the shaft of
the mirror toward the needle. Inject for only 3–5
seconds. This maneuver leaves the mucous membrane white or pale owing to the blanching induced by the pressure (Figure15.1).
Remove the needle, remove the shaft of the mirror, and
wait a minute for the few drops of anesthetic solution to take effect and the soft tissues at the injection site tobecome anesthetized.
After aspirating, reinsert the needle at the same site to
inject a larger quantity of anesthesia (±1/8 of a cartridge or 0.25
ml) slowly (7–10 seconds) and wait a further
30
seconds. A small amount of anesthetic is preferred to a large amount to reinforce the previous amount and ensure that the palate starts to become anesthetized.
This technique is fairly fast without topical anesthetic. Pressure maneuvers act by activating the gate control
system in the trigeminal nerve nuclei. This partially inhib­its the passage of pain stimuli to higher pathways, thus helping the stimulus to remain below the pain threshold (Melzack and Wall1965; Dubner1978) (seeChapter11).
Topical Cooling
Cold reduces the velocity of nerve conduction, which ceases when the temperature falls from 10 to 0
°C (Harbert1989), thus inducing anesthesia. Topical cooling techniques are used before injection of palatal local anes­thesia to ensure that the procedure is as painless as possi­ble. The only contraindication would be in patients who cannot tolerate cold (Harbert1989).
There are three different approaches: (i) old cold aero­sols, like ethyl chloride; (ii) refrigerants, only used on the palate (Duncan etal.1992; Kosaraju and Vandewalle2009; Wiswall etal.2014); and (iii) topical ice. All these methods are explained in Chapter12.

exact point at which a few drops are injected and the shaft turns toward the needle while applying pressure.  Redrawn from Kravitz (2006).
Periodontal Ligament Technique
This technique was first proposed by Dr. Barry McArdle as being almost painless (McArdle1997; Aslin2001).
In the first stage, buccal infiltration is used to anesthetize
the buccal gingiva and the buccal part of the papillae of
the tooth at the point on the palate to be anesthetized.
This maneuver may take some time since, as the anes-
thesia begins to take effect, it is necessary to inject into
the attached gingiva while moving gradually toward the
interdental papilla.
A high- pressure pistol- grip syringe for the periodontal
ligament technique is prepared with an extrashort nee-
dle (8–12 mm, 27 G or 30 G). In posterior teeth, it may
be necessary to deflect the needle halfway up the shaft,
but never at the hub, which is where the needle
can break.
