Book Description
The perception of pain in the mind of dental patients is
a significant deterrent to regular dental attendance. Control of this pain
and anxiety is, therefore, a treatment issue central to the clinical
practice of dentistry. This textbook covers both local anesthesia and
sedation comprehensively, and offers practical instructions for the dental
student. It provides a theoretical framework based on the anatomy,
physiology and pharmacology of pain and anxiety control. The book offers
comprehensive coverage of pain and anxiety management for conscious dental
patients; control of operative, perioperative and post-operative pain in
dentistry; describes all aspects of local anesthesia and sedation in
dentistry; provides a rational approach to the prescription of drugs;
practical guidance and instruction on techniques; over 150 photographs and
50 line diagrams. The book covers local anesthesia including inhalational,
intravenous sedation, control of post-operative pain, management of
non-dental oro-facial pain and management of medical emergencies related to
pain control. The chapters covering the basic principles of dental local
anesthetic injections and intraligamentary, intra-osseous and intrapulpal
anesthesia are unique.
