Effective pain control in endodontics relies on understanding intraoral local anesthesia. This review covers essential anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology for successful application.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • High-quality pain control is crucial in endodontic procedures.
  • Intraoral local anesthesia is the cornerstone of pain management in endodontics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinically relevant aspects of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology for effective intraoral local anesthesia.
  • To enhance the practical knowledge of dentists regarding local anesthesia indications and limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical landmarks relevant to nerve blocks and infiltrations.
  • Discussion of physiological factors influencing anesthetic efficacy.
  • Summary of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of commonly used local anesthetics.

Main Results:
