Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The posterior superior alveolar nerve block anesthetizes the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, the roots of the maxillary molar teeth, and the buccal gingivae of the maxillary molars. This nerve block does not typically affect the palatal gingivae or the buccal gingivae of the premolars, as these areas are innervated by other nerves.
