INFERIOR NERVE BLOCK PROTOCOL TO ADMINISTER JUVEDERM-
FOR DENTAL PRACTITIONERS UTILIZING THE VIBRAJECT®
DENTAL NEEDLE ACCESSORY
By Stephen A. Pap, M.D.
PROTOCOL:
1. Discuss with the patient the areas of desired improvement,
pointing out the contour of the nasolabial fold (NLF) and upper and
lower lip volume, obtain consent.
2. With the VibraJect®, use a 5 cc syringe to inject 0.5 to 1 cc of
lidocaine with epinephrine in each superior gingival sulcus to block the
infraorbital nerve and in each inferior gingival sulcus to block the mental
nerve. This will anesthetize the nasolabial fold, superior and inferior lips.
3. After block is complete, proceed with the filler treatment to the
NLF and or lips.
4. Advise the patient that numbness may last a few hours, and to avoid
hot or cold beverages until the sensation returns.

I think we need a better system for these kind of dental problems and woes. It seems like everyone is having problems with their teeth and it looks like we are about to enter yet another recession. . .I’m honestly a little scared these days about how I can support my family. We need to have a discussion on REAL resources out there to help single mothers like us take care of our family... I know about
ReplyDeletewww.healthsouk.com (HealthSouk) and www.1800dentist.com (1800 Dentist)
but are there any other great organizations that help people get connected to doctors for discounted health prices that can help? We don’t qualify for government assistance!

It's very important to respect this protocol, and that's why I always said that people should be very careful where they decide to go for botox.
ReplyDeletethis procedure is not complicated but it has a few side effects that can be avoided.
An amateur has no idea that a protocol must be followed and that's a reason why some patients are not happy with the result of botox....
