A literature review on various complications associated with administration of local anesthesia in dentistry

Abstract

To perform any surgical procedure, we require administration of safe as well as effective local anesthesia. The prime and the most important step in any clinical oral surgical procedure is the administration of local anesthesia. Almost in most of the clinical steps in dentistry, local anesthesia is used, therefore there are chances of complications that might occur with the administration of the local anesthetic drug. It is advised to take the proper history of the patient, i.e., is there any systemic complication that might get enhanced with the administration of the local anesthetic agent. Ask and verify, whether the patient is allergic to any specific medicine or allergic to the local anesthetic agent, to avoid any sort of complication.
