Abstract:
Even today the ability to provide the patient with clinically adequate pain control with minimum systemic side effects is one of the major concerns all over the world. Lignocaine, the most commonly used local anesthetic agent in oral surgery due to its rapid onset & reasonably good potency, does not have adequate duration of action, unless used with Adrenaline, a drug known for its cardiovascular effects. Centbucridine, a non-ester, non-amide group local anesthetic agent developed in India at C D R I Lucknow, has advantage of inherent vasoconstrictor property. This study was planned to compare 0.5% Centbucridine and 2% Lignocaine with Adrenaline, in exodontia patients. The results were recorded for their efficacy and C V S action and statistically analyzed. Centbucridine was found to be an ideal local anesthetic agent with no effects on cardiovascular parameters and exhibiting a sufficient degree of local anesthetic activity suitable for use in routine minor surgery cases. This will be advantageous where Adrenaline is absolutely contraindicated due to systemic problems.

Local Anesthetics: Common Agents and Their Applications
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...
