1) For scaling and root planning do we need to anesthetize pulpal tissue? Or only gingiva?
2) If we need to provide scaling and root planning for teeth from 1,5 to 2,5 what anesthetic technique would be appropriate to choose? 2 infraorbital nerve blocks + nasopalatine nerve block + palatal infiltrations for 1.5,1.4,2.4,2.5?
3) If we need to provide scaling and root planning for teeth from 3.3 to 4.3 what anesthetic technique would be appropriate to choose? 2 incisive nerve blocks + lingual infiltrations?
1) no we don't. We only need to anesthetize the gingiva
2) Yes, there is no other option. But quite unlikely as well. 3) Thats a mock question coming up soon :)
