Describe the field of anesthesia for the PSA nerve block

What will be an ideal response?


Anesthesia will affect the structures innervated by the PSA nerve, including pulps of the maxillary first, second, and third molars; and the facial periodontium on the injected side. In some individuals, the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar will not receive its entire innervation, or any innervation, from the PSA nerve and a PSA block would not provide profound anesthesia for the entire tooth.
