[A method for potentiation of local anesthesia for tooth removal and pulp extirpation]
Abstract:
Local anesthesia can be considered adequate in 22% cases, which is explained by the absence of inhibitory effect on allogens, persistence of psychoemotional tension, and effector reactions. Therefore it is recommended to potentiate local anesthesia by a drug complex including analgesic ketrodole, tranquilizer diazepam, and alpha-adrenoagonist clofelin, used transbuccally 8-10 min before anesthesia. This pretreatment 3-fold increased the adequacy of local anesthesia for tooth removal and pulp extirpation.

Local Anesthetics: Mechanism of Action
Local anesthetics are amphiphilic molecules consisting of a hydrophobic aromatic part linked to a hydrophilic group by an ester or amide linkage. They are weak bases and are usually available as salts, which increases their solubility and stability. Once administered, LAs exist in the body either...
