Athorough knowledge of the sensory nerve supply of both jaws is indis- i64 REGIONAL ANESTHESIA pensable before attempting the injections. Figures 134-138 illustratethe areas of nerve supply of the masticatory apparatus better thanany description. Upper Teeth.—Molars.—Two injections are sufficient to anesthetizethe three molars at the same time: the superior posterior dental block bythe oral route (page 80) and the posterior palatine block (page 84)..
