Abstract

Conventional teaching regarding palatal injection for the removal of maxillary teeth dictates the administration of buccal and palatal injections. Recently, some investigators have questioned the necessity of the palatal injection, suggesting that contemporary local anesthetics might diffuse sufficiently across the buccopalatal cortical bone distance. It has been suggested that because the buccopalatal cortical bone distance increases anteriorly to posteriorly in the maxilla, the success of maxillary extractions with buccal injection only might be related to the anteroposterior position of the tooth. Evidence from clinical trials has only recently become available. Since 2006, 15 clinical trials that examined outcomes of maxillary tooth extractions performed with buccal injection of local anesthetic only have been published. However, there are limited data available on the clinical practice of surgeons.
