Local anesthetics

Dent Clin North Am. 1994 Oct;38(4):619-32.

Abstract

Local anesthetics have been especially important in establishing pain control as a fundamental accomplishment in clinical dentistry. When used conscientiously, local anesthetics are effective and safe. It is helpful for clinical dentists to understand the workings of these adjuncts. The more we understand them, the better we will be able to use them.
