Question 18 of 20
Yes, that is correct.
Infiltration of maxillary first molars poses special challenges in a pediatric patient. This is because in some children the zygomatic process is very prominent and lies close to the alveolar bone, hindering local anesthesia administration.
In these cases, it is acceptable to either:
administer a posterior superior alveolar nerve block, or
administer buccal infiltrations at both the mesial and distal of the maxillary first molar
