Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incisive block involves injecting anesthetic solution near the mandibular incisors, at or near the mandibular foramen.

Answer: A 
 The IA block involves injecting anesthetic solution near the mandibular foramen, which is located at the level of the mandibular occlusal plane between the mandibular first and second molars.

Answer: E 
 The Gow-Gates injection involves injecting anesthetic solution near the condylar process of the mandible, which is located inferior to the mandibular foramen. This injection is used for more extensive anesthesia of the mandibular teeth and surrounding tissues.

The buccal block and mental block do not involve injecting near the mandibular foramen and are therefore not the best choices for the given statement.
