It must be highlighted that the anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASAN) is one of the branches originated from the infraorbital nerve before entering the homologous foramen (Joo et al., 2014).
Sixteen of the 17 dental hygiene respondents reported teaching 12 types of intraoral injections; one participant noted that the Gow-Gates and the anterior middle superior alveolar nerve block injections were not taught in their curriculum.
PSANB- posterior superior alveolar nerve block is such a kind of nerve block in maxilla.
While the ION is in the canal, it provides sensory innervations to the maxillary anterior teeth (anterior superior alveolar nerve), premolars (middle superior alveolar nerve), and associated gingiva.
Canalis sinuosus is a neurovascular canal, nerve branch of the infraorbital canal, that passes the anterior superior alveolar nerve, initially described by Jones in 1939 and on occasion by Gray [10], being a little-known structure, with few cases described in the literature.
Infratemporal space infection can be observed after maxillary molar infections, a posterior superior alveolar nerve or inferior alveolar nerve blocks as well as mandibular third molar infections that spread to pterygomandibular space (15).
(6) Alternately, the superior alveolar nerve could have been damaged during the tooth extraction; however, if this were the case, one would suspect a sensory deficit, and there was no discernible sensory deficit in this patient.
Using aseptic technique local anesthesia (Posterior superior alveolar nerve block and infiltration) was given.
The anterior superior alveolar nerve block is used to obtain anesthesia of the maxillary canine and central and lateral incisors.
Treatment notes from her last appointment indicated that the lower right quadrant was "hard to anesthetize." Injections included anterior superior alveolar nerve block (ASA), middle superior alveolar nerve block (MSA), posterior superior alveolar nerve block (PSA), and right and left inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANB) using 3 percent mepivacaine during the 90-minute session.
Esotropia following posterior superior alveolar nerve block.
These denervated upper anterior teeth is due to the damage to the anterior superior alveolar nerve when removing bone from the canine fossa region.
