Renaissance in Local Anesthesia
presented by
Stanley F Malamed, DDS
Local anesthesia forms the backbone of pain control techniques in contemporary dental practice. The subject of pain control in dentistry has undergone a renewal in interest, a renaissance. In this program Doctor Malamed will present an in-depth discussion of the many aspects of this important area of daily dental practice. A major area of interest has been in the introduction of new local anesthetics, such as articaine, as well as the recently released local anesthetic nasal mist for anesthesia of maxillary non-molar teeth; the local anesthesia reversal drug – phentolamine mesylate – and buffered local anesthetics, producing a more rapid onset, more comfortable injection and more profound anesthesia. These and other areas of current research into improving pain control will be discussed.
Local anesthetics are the safest & most effective drugs in medicine for the prevention & management of pain – when used correctly. Dr. Malamed will also discuss – in depth – “Is the Mandibular Block passe?” reviewing alternative techniques such as the Gow-Gates mandibular nerve block, intraosseous anesthesia, and the use of articaine by mandibular infiltration in adult patients.
