Question 77

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements best explains the need to reposition a patient upright with the mouth remaining wide open for up to two minutes after the completion of a Gow-Gates injection?


A) An open mouth allows access to safely remove the syringe and bite block from the mouth, and provides time to rinse and suction the area of injection while preventing aspiration risk in an upright position
B) An upright, open mouth position allows gravity to improve the flow of solution toward the IA nerve, which is located 5 to 10 mm from the deposition site
C) An open mouth allows the condyle to remain fully translated over the articular eminence, preventing the diffusion of solution away from the IA nerve; the upright position facilitates diffusion toward the IA nerve
D) An open mouth allows withdrawal of the syringe without contacting the mandibular occlusal plane; the upright position improves diffusion of the solution toward the IA nerve
