Re: Time between visits

You end up with the tip almost even with an imaginary line about 1/3 the
width of the palate. I have about 2/3 of a long needle in the tissues.
You almost aim for the opposite TMJ. Insertion is behind Hamular notch. Up
and back and medial from there.

Look at a dried skull. You are aiming for the foramen the mandibular nerve
first comes out of.

So are we aiming deep, medially, and superior to the hamular notch ?

Any landmarks ? How deep is the needle penetration ?

Would love to see you do this, am familiar with Gow-Gates
but am uncertain about the spenoid spaces concept.

How about a training video ? :-)

of
X-Tips with this technique.

IME, it is almost always successful (Stabident).

Am using X-tip, same concept and boy does it work !

Either (Stabident or X-tip) system will do the job. The X-tip
is a little more expensive, but considering you may only use
one once or twice a month, the costs would be minimal. You
don't have to 'hunt for the hole' as with the Stabident. When
I use all of my Stabidents (may take a year or two), I may give
the X-tips another try.

I'll add another regular injection once on a 'hard to numb'
case. If that doesn't do it, the Stabident is next in line.
