What type of pressure is involved in intrapulpal anesthesia?

  1. Hypostatic pressure
  2. Reverse pressure
  3. Hydrostatic pressure
  4. Back pressure
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Back pressure

Intrapulpal anesthesia relies on back pressure, which is created when the anesthetic solution is injected directly into the pulp chamber against resistance. This pressure desensitizes the pulp, making it an effective method for achieving anesthesia in inflamed pulps.
