PromptAnaesthesia options for upper incisor
ResponseField block (Supraperiosteal) – 2 mL 1% Lignocaine into mucobuccal fold above each tooth.
Infra-orbital nerve block. Palpate infraorbital notch, slide finger just below orbital rim. Infiltrate 2mL of lignocaine at that site. Could also use the intra-oral approach through mucosal sulcus up to foramen
Anterior superior alveolar nerve block. Use intra-oral approach like for infra-orbital n block
