What is the difference between maxillary and mandibular anesthesia approaches?

• A. Maxillary anesthesia often uses infiltrations or greater palatine/ NP blocks with relatively easier access; mandibular anesthesia often requires an inferior alveolar nerve block due to dense cortical bone
• B. Maxillary uses nerve blocks exclusively; Mandibular uses infiltration only
• C. Both use only infiltrations
• D. Mandibular anesthesia is easier due to sparse bone

Answer: (A)
