Abstract:

This article introduces some new concepts and techniques of local anesthesia for dental treatment. The signi-ficant measures that ensure local anesthesia’s safety are to evaluate the dental patients’ physical and mental state before local anesthesia, rationally use drugs depending on the results of physical state evaluation, and conduct necessary psychological counseling sedation for nervous and fearful patients. Articaine is highly prevalent in clinical practices because of its relative safety, good anesthetic efficacy, and diversity of applicable methods. The new painless syringes will make patients comfortable with local anesthesia and improve the safety of local anesthesia. The application of proper local anesthetics and painless needles will bring about several changes in local anesthesia methods and techniques. Local infiltration anesthesia has become the first choice of local anesthesia for dental treatment. Periodontal membrane anesthesia has become routine anesthesia, and customized and distinctive nerve block anesthesia has emerged. The safety, comfort, and efficacy of local anesthesia depend on the standardized operation. Under this circumstance, an imperative formulation of “Ope-rational Standard of Oral Local Anesthesia” has been established in the Chinese Stomatological Association.

Key words: dental treatment, local anesthesia, safety, comfort, standard
