Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches the technique for administering a Posterior Superior Alveolar (PSA) injection, which is aimed at anesthetizing the maxillary molars (except for the mesiobuccal root of the first molar). The needle is directed upward at a 45-degree angle to the occlusal plane and inward/backward at a 45-degree angle to the midsagittal plane to target the PSA nerve.
