Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Anesthesiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Local anesthetics are widely used in dental procedures.
  • Adverse reactions, especially toxic ones, are infrequent.

Observation:

  • A case of lidocaine toxicity is presented in a healthy 37-year-old male.
  • The toxicity occurred after transoral/transpharyngeal topical lidocaine application before general anesthesia.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited typical signs of lidocaine toxicity.
  • A review of common dental local anesthetic dosages and toxic reaction management is provided.

Implications:

  • Dentists must be prepared to identify and manage lidocaine toxicity.
  • Proper dosage and administration are crucial for patient safety in dental anesthesia.
