Abstract
Through use of communication-based strategies, effective local anesthesia, and judicious use of nitrous oxide, the vast majority of children can be cooperative at the dentist's office. Proper communication with children helps to ensure that dental care is completed in a compassionate...

Abstract
Failure to achieve profound anesthesia during dental treatment can be a significant problem for dental clinicians, especially for endodontic procedures on teeth in the mandibular arch with irreversible pulpitis. A number of supplemental local anesthesia techniques exist, the most eff...

Abstract
Multiple injections are required to anesthetize the maxilla for periodontal surgery that involves a quadrant or multiple teeth across the midline. The anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) field block was reported to effectively anesthetize the central incisors to the mesial aspect of the first m...

Abstract
The results demonstrated distinct patterns of trends in demand for general anaesthetic care among different SES groups and geographical location of primary residence. There was an overall emerging trend of increasing demand placed on public sector both among dental care users among high and low SES....

Abstract
This study provides further evidence to support the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of this technique. The authors suggest this provides sufficient basis to justify its use by suitably trained dental practitioners in primary care as part of the spectrum of anxiety and behaviour management fo...

Abstract
The success rates for groups I to III were 14.8%, 39.3%, and 65.4%, respectively. Group III had significantly better anesthesia compared with group I (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Combining an IAN block and a buccal infiltration injection provided more effective anesthesia in mandibular molars with irrever...

Abstract
We concluded that the IAN block administered with a peripheral nerve stimulator did not increase the success rate of pulpal anesthesia when compared with a conventional IAN block.

Abstract
Articaine promoted higher anesthesia success and longer duration of anesthesia than lidocaine for most of the teeth after IMNB although anesthesia success could be considered clinically appropriated only for premolars. The volume of local anesthetic used in the present study may not be appropriate f...

Abstract
The success rate for the IAN block was 41% with ibuprofen and 35% with placebo, with no significant difference (P=.57) between the 2 groups. For mandibular posterior teeth, a dose of 800 mg of ibuprofen given 45 minutes before the administration of the IAN block did not result in a statistically sig...

Abstract
Dental caries is the single most common chronic childhood disease. In rampant caries, there is early pulp involvement and gross destruction of the maxillary anterior teeth as well as posterior teeth. This leads to decreased masticatory efficiency, difficulty in speech, compromised esthetics, develop...

Abstract
Our results show that the quality of anesthesia that was attained with 0.5% bupivacaine was much worse than the quality of anesthesia after the application of 0.75% ropivacaine.
Ropivacaine has a potential to replace bupivacaine completely in cases when there is the indication for its usage in oral...

Abstract
The AMSA injection delivered with the CCLAD had significantly lower mean pain reaction scores compared to traditional buccal and palatal injections. The prolonged injection time required for delivering the CCLAD injection had no negative impact on the children. The children's pain perception scores...

Abstract
By their mechanism of action local anaesthesia methods were divided into diffused and vascular. Intraosseous, intraseptal and intraligamental anesthaesias are vascular ones at capillary-venous system level. Circulatory mechanism besides effectiveness increased more than 2-fold and also promotes enha...

Abstract
Mild hypothermia is common during deep sedation or general anesthesia and is frequently associated with patient discomfort and shivering. Greater declines in temperature can produce an even greater number of significant detrimental effects. This article reviews principles of thermoregulation and inf...

Abstract
Of 16 needle fractures, 15 occurred in connection with an inferior alveolar nerve block, and one occurred in connection with a posterior superior alveolar block. Of the 16 fractures, 13 involved a 30-gauge needle. Five of the patients involved were younger than 10 years. The oldest patient was 28 ye...

We are not direct observers of the happenings and manifestations. If we use anaesthetics every day there is a possibility of side effects. The main aim is to determine the real persistence of hypersensitive reactions. For diagnosing the hypersensitive reactions in this task, in vivo tests were done...

The effective response rate to the single mailing was 17.3% (1,395 respondents). By extrapolation, the estimated use of local anesthetics by all Ontario dentists during 2007 was determined to be about 13 million cartridges, which represents an average of 1,613 cartridges per dentist per year. Lidoca...
