Buccal Infiltration :

Buccal nerve innervates the skin over the anterior portion of the buccinator muscle, the inferior buccal
gingiva in the molar region, and the majority of the buccal mucosa. A 2 or 3 mm needle is placed into
the buccal sulcus next to the tooth that has to be treated. To anesthetize the nerves supplying sensation
to the tooth, periodontium, and buccal gingiva, the solution diffuses across the periosteum and alveolar
bone.
IAN Block :

The IAN, originating from the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, runs deep to the lateral
pterygoid muscle and innervates the teeth and periodontium. It divides into incisive and mental nerves
at the mental foramen, providing sensation to the teeth and gums. Using this technique, the syringe
barrel is placed at the opposite site from the premolars, and the needle is entered 1.5 cm above the
occlusal plane. Following contact with the bone, the syringe gets moved to the injection site, and the
needle is advanced to a distance of 30-34 mm while still in contact with the bone.
