 Local Anesthesia is the loss of sensation in circumscribed area
of body caused by depression of excitation in nerve engines or
inhibition of conduction process in peripheral nerves.
 Produces loss of sensation with out loss of consciousness
Role of Local Anesthetics
• Decrease intraoperative and postoperative pain
• Decrease amount of general anesthetics used in the
OR
• Increase patients cooperation
• Diagnostic testing/examination
11/1/2022 5
Techniques of Local Anesthesia or methods
1. Topical anesthesia
Spray
Ointment
Solution form
Gel
2. Parentral anesthesia
Infiltration
Block anesthesia
11/1/2022 6
Desirable characteristics of ideal
anesthesia
1. Low toxicity
2. Reduction of blood flow
3. Long duration of action
4. Rapid speed of onset
5. Good anesthetic efficacy
11/1/2022 7
Precaution to be considered during
injection inside the mouth
11/1/2022 8
 Do not inject local anesthetic into an area that is swollen.
 If the person has heart disease or hypertension not
use an anesthetic with epinephrine(vasoconstrictor).
 Use lidocaine without epinephrine.
 Before the needle enter the mucosa, be sure its
bevel is facing the mucosa.
Cont…
 Before the local anesthetic is injected, aspirat with the
syringe to prevent an intravascular injection.
 If this happens pull the needle part way out and
gently move it over to a different place.
 Use a sharp needle and inject the solution very
slowly.
 Be sure the syringe is clean and sterile.
