Description:
Though effective drugs, the onset of profound (pulpal) anesthesia is sometimes exceeding long. The concept of buffering anesthetics has been used in medicine for many years with mixed success. Recently a technique for buffering dental local anesthetic cartridges has been introduced, greatly enhancing the speed of onset, injection comfort and anesthetic depth.
Learning objectives:
On completing this section the student should be able to:
• Describe the effect of pH on the onset of anesthesia with local anesthetics
• Describe the mechanism of action of the buffering agent sodium bicarbonate on local anesthetics
• List the benefits of local anesthetic buffering in dentistry
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
