2. Each technique is indicated for anesthetizing certain areas like the maxillary molars, premolars, canines, and incisors as well as associated gingiva and bone. Landmarks, needle position, aspiration, and volume of local anesthetic solution are outlined.
3. Advantages include high success rates and being technically easy. Risks include hematoma and failure to adequately anesthetize if proper technique is not followed
