LOCALANESTHESIA
 DEFINITION

11. METHODS OFREDUCING PAIN DURING USAGE OF
LOCAL ANESTHETICAGENTS
1)PRECOOLING THE INJECTION SITE:
 Cooling the site prior to the block at injection site reduced the pain
perceived during the local anesthesia.
 Ice pre treatment of the soft tissue at injection site before the
procedure.
 According to Harbert etal precooling the injection site reduced pain
perception during palatal injections.

contemporary dental practice volume10,no.3 may2009

12. 2)APPLICATIONOFTOPICAL ANESTHETICS
GEL FORM SPRAY FORM LIQUID FORM
PATCH OINTMENT
Intraoral topical anesthesia
JOHN G. MEECHAN Vol. 46,
2008, 56–79

13.  Mixture of 5% lidocaine & Prilocaine.
 It is used more often for skin than intra orally.
 According toSvennson et al observed more effective results
when applied at incisve foramen region and greater palatine
region.
 In children under 6 months is contraindicated due to the
possibility for developing methemoglobinemia due to
prilocaine.
3) EMLA(EUTECTIC MIXTURE OF LA):

14.  Oraqix contains 25 mg ⁄ g lidocaine and 25 mg ⁄ g prilocaine.
 Thermosetting agent.
 The material is liquid at room temperature but when injected
into the gingival crevice it forms an elastic gel.
 Fast onset in 30 seconds with duration of 20 minutes
approximately

16. DEVICES USED FOR REDUCING PAIN
 VIBROTACTILE DEVICES: Based on gate control theory
 VIBROJECT
 DENTAL VIBE
 ACCUPAL
 VIBROJECT : Small battery-operated attachment that snaps on to
the standard dental syringe.

& Medical Journal of Advanced Research ● Vol. 1 ● 2015

17. DENTALVIBE
 It is a cordless, rechargeable, hand held device that delivers soothing,
pulsed, percussive micro-oscillations to the site where an injection
being administered.
 Stimulates the sensory receptors at the injection site, effectively
closing the neural pain gate, blocking the painful sensation.

18.  Cordless device that uses both vibration and pressure to precondition
the oral mucosa.
 Accupal provides pressure and vibrates the injection site 360°
proximal to the needle penetration, which shuts the “pain gate.”

19. COMPUTER CONTROLLED LOCALANESTHETIC
DELIVERY SYSTEM (CCLAD)

M. Clark, DDS, DCNA October 2010Volume 54, Issue 4, Pages 757-768
• WAND/COMPUDENT SYSTEM:
• The light weight hand piece is held in a pen-like grasp that
provides the user with greater tactile sensation.
• The available flow rates of LA delivery are controlled by a
computer
• COMFORT CONTROL SYRINGE:
• It has two main components: A base unit and a syringe.
• functions of the unit- most importantly injection and aspiration-
can be controlled directly from the syringe.

20. JET INJECTORS
SYRIJET:
Features of the device is
that it accepts the
standard 1.8 mL cartridges
of LA solution (thereby
ensuring sterility of the
solution).
Completely autoclavable
MED-JET H III:
Extremely small stream of
liquid under pressure
pierces and then the
remainder of the dose will
be dispersed into the
desired layer of tissue.
Ability to utilize low
pressure delivery methods
without compromising
accuracy, convenience and
ease of use - while
ensuring patient comfort.

21.  PREVENTS NEEDLE STICK INJURY

2) Ultra Safe Syringe
3) Hypo Safety Syringe
4) RevVac safety syringe
SAFETY DENTAL SYRINGES

22. ELECTRONIC DENTAL ANESTHESIA
Uses the principle of Transcutaneous
Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
It increases salivary blood flow. Requires
good patient co-operation

23. DISCUSSION The use of topical application to obtain anesthesia for
intraoral operative procedures is appealing.
The patch was applied for 15 minutes and the gel for
30 seconds.
When the different jaws were compared the lidocaine
patch was more effective than the benzocaine gel.
Effectiveness of EMLA when applied apical to
deciduous teeth showed significant results.
Significant reduction of pain was observed when using
topical anesthetic and reduced anxiety in children.
Devices used while during the procedures results
shown that there is decrease in Pain and more comfort
compared to conventional syringes.

24. CONCLUSION
 Sight of large syringe being injected into tender gums can bring
tears to the eyes of most of the children.
 Achievement of successful local anesthesia is a continual
challenge in dentistry.
 Adjuvant techniques and devices can effectively reduce the pain
in children during dental treatment.
