Learn to prevent, recognize, and manage complications of local anesthesia administration. Written by Dr. Stanley Malamed, the leading expert on anesthesia in dentistry, the Handbook of Local Anesthesia, 7th Edition covers all the latest advances in science, instrumentation, and pain control techniques. From basic concepts to specific injection techniques, from dosage charts to the proper care and handling of equipment, this how-to guide provides in-depth, full-color coverage of key anesthesia topics, including specific hazards and errors in technique that may result in complications. Recognized as THE local anesthesia textbook in dentistry for over 30 years, the seventh edition has been thoroughly updated with the latest in safe anesthesia practices in dentistry.
Since the first described use of local anesthesia (LA) in 1884, the goal of pain-free or pain-reduced treatment in dentistry has been achievable [1]. Several treatment procedures in clinical dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery are associated with pain, for which the adjuvant of LA is essential in terms of pain reduction [2]. In the USA, about 300 million cartridges of LA have been applied annually [3, 4]; in Germany, an estimated 70 million carpels are used annually [5], and in Australia, this figure is about 11 million [6]. Dentists often give more than 1,500 cartridges of LA every year to their patients [7]. This magnitude demonstrates LA relevance in the fields of dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery [8].
One aspect of this advancement is the launch of a computer-controlled local anesthetic injector Calaject, (Rønvig Dental MFG, Daugaard, Denmark), designed to reduce the pain of performing local anesthesia [15]. The principle of this device is based on the fact that the less pressure and flow of a local anesthetic injection, the less painful the procedure will be [16]. Each device has an installed pressure sensor as well as a three-button display that allows you to choose the most appropriate program in terms of different speeds and pressure. According to the anesthesia technique, the manufacture recommends program I for intraligamentary and palatinally injections, program II for infiltration, and III for alveolar nerve block techniques. Conventional carpules and needles can be used in a pen-shaped part connecting to the main unit. The anesthetic administration can be achieved using a foot control pedal adapted to the main unit. The speed of injection is related to acoustic signals [17].
This study aimed to compare the pain perception using conventional dental anesthesia to the computer-controlled device Calaject as a part of the dental local anesthesia curricula. The focus was on the comparison of the parameters by doing the two types of LA by dental students and experienced dentist to find out whether the dentist experience play any role on the pain level.
Unilateral blinding was performed beforehand for the purpose of application type and location. As the computerised injection system emits a signal tone, this signal tone was during the application of the conventional local anesthesia. During the procedure, the subjects were deprived of their sense of sight by means of a blindfold. The selection of the application sequence used (computerised vs. conventional) was randomised to avoid an expectation from the study subject to the type of LA used.
Dental phobia is one of the main barriers which make patients avoid routine check-ups and early treatments [39]. Indeed, patients seek to avoid pain caused by dental procedures [40] For pain prevention or reduction, profound dental anesthesia is required. Nevertheless, LA is also related to pain sensation due to the injection and application, which makes this problem unsolvable [41]. Consequently, many new devices and techniques were developed to minimise pain during the application of local dental anesthesia [42]. CCLA is one of these attempts and many commercially available instruments [43, 44]. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the pain sensation resulting from using conventional and CCLA.
Buffering of local anesthetics offers significant advantages for the dentist and patient. Dentists must understand the time course of anesthesia, the factors that contribute to inconsistent anesthetic performance, and how the body must overcome the acidity of local anesthetic injections before the anesthetic can take effect.
Buffering local anesthetics to a neutral pH range addresses inconsistencies in anesthetic performance such as speed of onset, depth of anesthesia, comfort of injection, predictability, and patient perception.
The aim of this publication is to provide a concept for prevention and a standardized step-by-step clinical approach to this rare but serious and potentially preventable complication of dental local anesthesia.
Prevention of a needle fracture should be the main goal during local dental anesthesia. Use of longer hypodermic needle can obviate complex retrieval surgery. If immediate removal of the fragment fails, localization, planning, and the necessary surgical procedure should be arranged promptly.
As the basis for patient-centered pain-free dental therapy, local anesthesia is one of the most frequent interventions in dentistry and one of the main factors that has allowed an image shift from dentistry as a very anxiety-driven necessity to a modern doctor-patient partnership.
Reasons for needle breakage can be manifold. The most common cause in the past, fatigue fracture of sterilized re-usable dental needles, could be largely eliminated by the introduction of standardized disposable cannulas made of resilient stainless steel in the 1960s [8]. The authors found no scientific report of re-usable syringes for local anesthesia after the late 1970s. Today, prevention of failures in the technical implementation is the most important preemptive measure. Although there is general consensus that preventive measures are particularly important and fragments should usually be removed promptly [2, 4, 6, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31], it is remarkable that no guidelines, especially for the surgical procedure, have yet been published.
For the time period from 1980 to date, a total of 36 valid reports and reviews including reports were found documenting 59 cases of broken hypodermic needles during dental local anesthesia. All cases were evaluated according the defined parameters described in detail in the following (Table 1).
For 51 out of 59 cases, the anesthetic procedure was reported. Seven fragments (13.7%) could be removed under local anesthesia (LA), whereby three of those interventions were performed under additional intravenous sedation. The majority of removals (44 cases/86.3%), however, were accomplished under general anesthesia (GA). For eight cases, the anesthesia method was not given.
Some dental patients have histories of adverse reactions to local anesthesia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of allergy to local anesthetics of dental patients who had histories of adverse reactions to local anesthesia based on the results of allergy tests in our institute over a period of 5 years. We investigated the past medical records of dental patients retrospectively, and twenty patients were studied. Three of the 20 showed a positive or false-positive reaction in the intracutaneous test, and one patient showed a false-positive reaction in the challenge test. Our results suggest that the frequency of allergy to local anesthetics is low even if patients have histories of adverse reactions to local anesthesia. However, allergy tests of local anesthetics should be performed in patients in whom it is uncertain whether they are allergic.
Some dental patients have histories of adverse reactions to local anesthesia. Such adverse reactions are caused by intoxication (overdose), which results from intravascular injection or the rapid absorption of high doses of drugs, side effects associated with vasoconstrictors, the vasovagal reflex, anxiety, and a psychosomatic reaction [1-4]. In reality, true allergic reactions to local anesthetics are rare [5, 6]. It has been estimated that only about 1% of all reactions occurring during local anesthesia are allergic in origin [7]. Allergic reactions have been shown to be caused by co-incidental exposure to other antigens such as preservatives (e.g., methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate), antioxidants (e.g., bisulphate), antiseptics (e.g., chlorhexidine), and other antigens such as latex, as well as local anesthetic drugs [8-10]. Many patients with histories of adverse reactions to local anesthesia have the impression that they are allergic to local anesthetics. In our institute, we have performed allergy tests in patients with histories of adverse reactions to local anesthesia. The test is mainly for detecting immediate allergy (anaphylaxis), because it rapidly occurs and is the most severe of all allergic reactions, resulting in potentially fatal consequences. 2ff7e9595c
