Over the past century, local anaesthetics and their delivery systems have evolved and improved significantly. Despite these advances, our ability to obtain profound anaesthesia, 100% of the time is elusive, especially in the mandible. These situations can create painful dental visits for patients, creating anxiety for them and for the operator as well.
This seminar will explore the reasons and remedies for incomplete local anaesthesia. A discussion about relevant anatomy and pharmacology that leads to incomplete local anaesthesia will be presented.
Techniques to supplement the standard inferior alveolar nerve block and
armamentaria besides the standard needle and syringe will also be evaluated.
Topics to be explored include the Gow-Gates Block; articaine and paraesthesia; intraosseous and PDL injections; methods for pain reduction during injections and local anaesthetic and vasoconstrictor drug interactions, and toxicity. Finally, a discussion about new and improved local anaesthesia related products and delivery systems will be presented for example intra-nasal anaesthesia, computer-controlled injection devices and slow-release local anaesthesia. For each of these topics, the latest research will be presented.
