To achieve complete anesthesia on the right side of the palate, which injections are needed?

Achieving complete anesthesia on the right side of the palate typically requires the administration of both the greater palatine and the nasopalatine blocks.

The greater palatine nerve innervates the posterior portion of the hard palate, providing sensation to the molars and premolars, while the nasopalatine nerve supplies sensation to the anterior portion of the hard palate, including the incisors. By performing both of these injections, you ensure comprehensive coverage of the sensory innervation across the entire palate on the right side.

This combination is particularly effective in dental procedures involving the upper teeth or surgical interventions in the palatal region, as it minimizes discomfort and ensures that the patient does not perceive pain during the procedure.
