Factors that guide in the selection of local anesthetic dental
Answers
The decision to inject local anesthetic agents to achieve profound anesthesia is dependent upon many factors, particularly the depth and duration of anesthesia required, and the possible need for hemostasis. To maximize the safety of local anesthetic injections, it is necessary to weigh the risks against the benefits for each patient, for each anesthetic agent, for use of a vasoconstrictor, and for the delivery technique for the selected agent.
