Maxillary Left Posterior Segment Buccal Approach Direct vision Can be improved by asking patient to close slightly Coronoid process moves posteriorly More slack in cheek Patient in supine position Operator in 10 o clock position Move head toward operator and slightly elevate the chin Evacuator tip near occlusal surface of tooth being treated Occlusal Approach Indirect vision Mirror placed as far from the operative site as practical and gives lateral angle view of handpiece Patient in supine position Operator work at 11 o clock position Patient head turned slightly toward operator Use tip of evacuator to retract the cheek and tip opening just distal to tooth being treated Evacuator tip placed behind mirror (closer to nose) Assistant can prevent mirror from becoming wet by passing over stream of air Finger rest on occlusal surface of right maxillary incisor or biscupid teeth Lingual approach Direct vision Mouth mirror to observe detail Patient in supine position Operator work in 9 o clock position Patient head turned toward assistant Finger rest ontop of operators left index finger which is placed over the occlusal surfaces of maxillary right biscuspid teeth.
