Illustrated handbook of local anaesthesia

Although the drugs remain the same—articaine hydro- chloride, bupivacaine hydrochloride, lidocaine hydrochloride, mepivacaine hydrochloride, and prilocaine hydrochloride—the years since the sixth edition have seen the introduc- tion and refinement of drugs and devices that work to helpthe dental profession come ever closer to the twin goals of truly pain-free dentistry and truly pain-free local anesthetic injections.

Deposit a local anesthetic drug in close proximity to a sen- sory nerve and clinically adequate pain control will result in essentially all clinical situations. This is especially so in the mandible, primarily permanent mandib- ular molars. Have we succeeded? Not yet. Are we getting close? This seventh edition of Handbook of Local Anesthe- sia includes significant updates to many chapters and the addition of two new chapters: Chapter 19 Problems in Achieving Pain Control and Chapter 20 Recent Advances in Local Anesthesia.

Chapter 19 was added as a consequence of my many con- tinuing dental education programs on local anesthesia. One of the most frequently asked questions has to do with the inability to consistently achieve effective pulpal anesthesia when one is treating teeth that are acutely pulpally involved.
