Articaine ID Blocks and the ‘CIA Technique’ for Local Anaesthetic – PDP143

There is a massive trend of Dentists ditching ID blocks in favour of articaine buccal infiltrations. For many that are still using ID blocks routinely, they are afraid of using Articaine due to fear of paraesthesia. Should we be doing less ID blocks? And when we do, is it ACTUALLY harmful to use articaine or is that a myth? I have to admit, the main reason I heavily switched to buccal articaine was to avoid ID blocks. Dr. Wayne William, our straight-talking, no-BS Prosthodontist guest will bust some myths and improve your daily delivery of safe and effective local anaesthesia. In this episode he taught us the Crestal Intraosseous Approach (CIA), a technique developed by Dr. Wayne to improve our buccal infiltrations. https://youtu.be/LbOxlXIZCkw Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content The Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Check out the couple of videos I posted recently on YouTube and on the app https://youtu.be/yFfKVLmSr5Q Robin Hood Dentistry – a careful and well-considered enameloplasty https://youtu.be/3QLby2U_W3E No More High Restorations 2023 Update – Stop Grinding Away Your Composites! “There is no such thing as a periodontal ligament injection” Dr. Wayne Williams Highlights of this episode: 3:02 The Protrusive Dental Pearl 5:49 Dr. Wayne Williams’ Introduction 8:06 Buccal infiltration with articaine for lower molars 13:09 Crestal Intraosseous Approach (CIA) 22:28 ID Blocks – is it safe? 28:13 Hitting Bone while giving injections – safe or not? 31:04 Failure rate for ID Blocks Occlusion: Basics and Beyond is the most tangible, real-world, and comprehensive occlusion training on the planet.
