Comparison of posterior superior alveolar and greater palatine nerve block with local infiltration for extraction of maxillary molars in oral surgery – A randomized controlled trial

Administration of local anesthetic drug that prevents pain during dental treatment is absolute importance. Act injecting should be nonpainful and atraumatic. The maxilla very porous highly vascular. Therefore, anesthesia maxillary teeth can accomplished more easily than with mandibular teeth. aim this study to determine the efficacy conventional technique posterior superior alveolar (PSA) greater palatine nerve(GP) block as compared buccal palatal in terms injection, after extraction, 15mins procedure quality extraction procedure. also intends incidence positive aspiration infiltration technique. This randomized clinical was carried out on 154 patients who reported Department Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, Sri Rajiv Gandhi College Dental Sciences & Hospital Bangalore, requiring second third molar received using nerve randomly each side mouth. Patients were assessed for Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Verbal Response (VRS). During tooth an eight-point category rating scale. results obtained analyzed Chi-square test. It concluded less painful patient block. has a lower frequency PSA However, provides better-quality anesthesia. appears successful alternative additional advantages,
