Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DThe Middle Superior Alveolar (MSA) injection is used to anesthetize the first and second maxillary premolars in a portion of the population where this nerve exists. However, in cases where the MSA nerve is absent, the Infraorbital (D) nerve block can provide pulpal anesthesia to the first and second maxillary premolars, as the infraorbital nerve innervates the area from the central incisor to the midline of the maxilla, including the associated teeth and their pulps.
