Which procedure can maxillary infiltration be effectively used for?

Maxillary infiltration is an anesthetic technique that works effectively for teeth in the maxilla or upper jaw because of the thinness of the bone and the proximity of the maxillary teeth roots to the mucosal surface. When using infiltration anesthesia in the maxillary region, the local anesthetic can diffuse through the bone to reach the nerves that innervate the teeth, providing effective pain control.

The correct choice reflects this principle, as it indicates that maxillary infiltration can be effectively used for every maxillary tooth without infection. Maxillary molars, premolars, and incisors can all be anesthetized using this method, allowing for a range of dental procedures to be performed comfortably for patients in that area.

In contrast, other choices don't accurately reflect the effectiveness of maxillary infiltration. For example, using this technique for every mandibular tooth is generally impractical, as mandibular teeth often require a different approach, like a nerve block, due to the denser bone structure. Focusing solely on maxillary molars or only anterior teeth limits the understanding of the technique's broader application to the entire maxillary arch where infiltration is typically effective.
