Synopsis:
Achieving profound and effective local anesthesia is essential in everyday clinical practice. It is a very often a limiting step in most procedures; meaning invasive procedures cannot begin until it is successfully achieved.

Despite the frequency that oral healthcare providers (i.e., dentists and hygienists) use local anesthetics during clinical practice, misconceptions remain. The goal of this presentation is to discuss several common ‘myths’ surrounding local anesthesia while incorporating up-to-date literature-supported learning issues.

This course will review and update local anesthetic history, techniques, equipment, and current research. At the conclusion of the course providers should have additional tips and tricks to help make their use of local anesthesia more safe and effective!


Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
  • Discuss current local anesthetic market share in the US
  • Review the basic pharmacology of local anesthetics
  • Discuss common ‘myths' associated with local anesthesia
  • Review the armamentarium of local anesthetic delivery
