JM 2
PAIN
• It is defined as an unpleasant sensational experience initiated by noxious stimulus & transmitted over a specialized neural network to CNS where it is interpreted as such
![Page 3: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
JM 3
LOCAL ANESTHESIA
Transient loss of sensation in a circumscribed area of the body caused by a depression of excitation in nerve endings or an inhibition of the conduction process in peripheral nerves.

JM 7
Functions of Vasoconstrictors
• ↓ the blood flow to the injection site• Absorption of LA into CVS is slowed leading to lower
LA level in blood• ↓ the risk of toxicity due to LA• ↑ the duration of action of the LA• ↓ bleeding and are useful when increased bleeding
is anticipated
![Page 8: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
JM 8
• Most commonly used agent – Phenylephrine (1:2500)• Limit – 4 mg at a time (Cardiac patients – 1/4th of normal dose)
• Contraindication – THYROTOXICOSIS
• If the LA solution is exposed to sunlight for a long time before administration, vasoconstrictor in the solution gets degraded by oxidation
![Page 9: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Reducing Agent (Sodium metabisulphite)
Preservative (Xylotox)
Fungicide (Thymol)
Vehicle(Modified Ringer’s solution)

JM 10
Mechanism of Action of LASpecific Receptor Theory – 1. Displacement Of Calcium ions from the Sodium
Channel Receptor Site2. Binding of LA molecule to this receptor site3. Blockade of sodium conductance4. Decrease in Sodium Conductance5. Depression in the rate of electrical depolarization 6. Failure to attain the threshold potential level7. Lack of development of propagated action
potentials8. Conduction Blockade
![Page 11: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
JM 11
Biotransformation(Alteration of the drug within the living organism)
• Ester LAs are hydrolyzed in plasma by the enzyme pseudo-cholinesterase. The one that undergoes hydrolysis readily is the least toxic. Allergic reactions are mostly due to the major metabolic product – para-aminobenzoic acid
• Amide LAs are primarily metabolized in the liver. Liver function and hepatic perfusion significantly influence the rate of biotransformation.

Techniques of Local Anesthesia
![Page 13: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE
![Page 14: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
JM 14
Local Infiltration
• Small terminal nerve endings in the area of surgery are flooded with LA solution rendering them insensitive to pain. In this method, incision is made through the same area in which the solution has been deposited.
• This technique is usually successful for treatment of mandibular deciduous canines, incisors and even in molars.
![Page 15: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
JM 15
Field Block
• Here the LA solution is deposited in proximity to the large terminal nerve branches so that the area to be anesthetized is circumscribed to prevent the central passage of afferent impulse
• Maxillary injections administered above the apex of the tooth can be termed field blocks
![Page 16: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
JM 16
Nerve Block
• Method of securing local analgesia in which suitable local anesthetic solution is deposited within close proximity to the main nerve trunk, thus preventing nerve impulses from travelling centrally beyond that point.
![Page 17: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

JM 56
• Here local anesthetic solution is delivered directly to the pulp using a bent needle
• mostly used to anesthetize mandibular 1st molar which may be sometimes difficult to achieve using other procedures like nerve blocks in case of inflammation in the site of infection
• Advantages of Intrapulpal injection – • Requires minimum volumes of LA solution• Immediate onset of action• Very few post operative complications
![Page 57: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
JM 57
• Nerve anesthetized – Terminal nerve endings at the site of injection
in the pulp chamber and canals of the involved tooth
• Areas anesthetized – tissues within the injected toothINDICATION when pain control is necessary for pulpal
extirpation or other endodontic treatment in the absence of adequate anesthesia from other technique
![Page 58: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
JM 58
TECHNIQUE• Insert a 25 or 27 gauge short or long needle
into the pulp chamber or the root canal • Wedge the needle firmly into the pulp
chamber or root canal• Deposit .2 to .3 ml of anesthetic solution
under pressure• Resistance to the injection of the drug should
be felt Bend the needle, if necessary, to gain access to the canal
![Page 59: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
JM 59
• When the intrapulpal injection is performed properly, a brief period of sensitivity (ranging from mild to very painful) usually accompanies the injection
• Pain relief occurs immediately thereafter, permitting instrumentation to proceed atraumatically
• Instrumentation may begin approximately 30 seconds after the injection
![Page 60: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
JM 60
TOPICAL ANESTHESIA
• It is the method of obtaining anesthesia by the application of suitable agent to an area of either the skin or mucous membrane through which it penetrates to anesthetize superficial nerve endings
• It is commonly used to obtain anesthesia of the mucosa prior to injection

Topical Anesthetic Ointments & Jelly• Ointments – 5% Lignocaine (onset of action is 3-4 minutes)• Emulsions – 2% Lignocaine
BENZOCAINE – • Odorless white crystalline powder
(soluble in alcohol and fatty oils)• Safe – due to its low aqueous solubility, It is
very slowly absorbed from the oral tissues and wounds

EMLA (Eutectic Mixture of LA)
• Mixture of LIGNOCINE & PRILOCAINE• EMLA cream is used for numbing the skin
before inserting the needle• It is designed to go through intact skin• Potential for toxic effects of LA is minimal• Use in children under 6 months is
contraindicated due to the possibility for developing methemoglobinemia due to prilocaine
![Page 66: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Intraoral lignocaine patch
• Contains 10% or 20% lignocaine • Placed for 15 minutes on the buccal mucosa of
the maxillary or mandibular premolar area, 2 mm apical to the mucogingival junction
![Page 67: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Electronic Dental Anesthesia
• Uses the principle of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
• Requires good patient co-operation• It increases salivary blood flow

NUMB FEELING• Invites the possibility of an unnecessary
emotional upset of the child
How to Avoid ?• The dentist should explain beforehand to the
child that he/she will experience the numbness after the administration of LA
![Page 70: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
JM 70
LIP BITING
How to avoid ?• Warning should be given immediately following
injection procedure. Warning should be repeated before the child leaves the dental chair.
• Parents should also be warned about this possible complication if not attended properly

Complication due to Injection of LOCAL ANESTHETIC SOLUTION
3 TYPES –
1. Method of deposition of the drug2. Drug dosage dependent reactions3. Hypersensitivity reactions
![Page 73: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
JM 73
Method of deposition of drug
VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE• Due to peripheral pooling of blood and
reduction in cerebral blood flow
• Rarely encountered in children due to constant movement of extremities coupled with crying out loud which prevents the peripheral pooling of blood
![Page 74: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
JM 74
BROKEN NEEDLE• Due to sudden movement during administration
of the LA solution
FAILURE TO ACHIEVE ANESTHESIA• This may be due to
1. Improper Technique of administration2. Normal anatomic Variation
![Page 75: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
JM 75
FACIAL NERVE PARALYSIS
• Encountered during IANB• Due to injection of LA solution into parotid
gland• Facial Nerve gets temporarily paralyzed• Effects wears off over a period of time during
which the eye needs to be protected
![Page 76: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
JM 76
TRISMUS• Due to trauma to muscles or blood vessels of
infra temporal fossa• Intramuscular or supramuscular injection of
LA• Hemorrhage• Hematoma and scar formation
How to Avoid ?• Avoid repeated injections or multiple
insertions into the same area• Use only minimum effective volume of LA
![Page 77: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
JM 77
Drug Dosage Dependent Reactions• At Low levels - ↑ Heart rate and Cardiac Output• At High levels - ↓ Cardiac Output & Circulatory
Failure• Methemoglobinemia – Caused by Benzocaine & PrilocainHow To Avoid ?• Use Of Aspiration Technique• Keeping the amount of agent administered
below toxic limit
![Page 78: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
JM 78
CAUSES OF TOXICITY• Use of excessive dose of LA• Inadvertent intravascular injection• Slow detoxification or biotransformation• Slow elimination or redistributionMajority of the toxic reactions to LA are
immediate, mild and transientThey can be avoided by closely monitoring
during the injection, injecting slowly and withdrawing the needle at the first signs of an adverse response
![Page 79: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
JM 79
TOXICITY DUE TO VASOCONSTRICTORS• They causes local ischemia and thus retard
their own absorption• Patients with ischemic heart diseases and
hypertension are at high risk of toxicity if administrated intravascularly
![Page 80: LA in Pedodontics](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020105/554b5924b4c9051b458b4bf3/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

Manifestation Of Toxicity
• Cardiac Depression• Coma• Convulsions• Unconsciousness• Muscular twitching• Visual and auditory disturbances,
light headedness, numbness of tongue

Hypersensitivity (rare)
Manifests as • Utricaria • Facial edema• Breathlessness
Methyl paraben (protein) is the main allergent• It has been replaced in recent times
