Adverse Effect of Local Anesthesia for Disabled Patient During Dental Procedures Assessment: Review

Abstract

The use of local anesthetic is essential in the field of dentistry. Injections of local anesthesia are performed on a yearly basis in the millions all over the world. These injections are usually considered to be safe invasive procedures. However, there is a possibility of undesirable consequences, which practitioners of dentistry ought to be aware of. The purpose of this scoping review was to offer a comprehensive summary of the published research on the detrimental effects of dental local anesthetic, particularly in patients who have disabilities. There was usually a lack of essential information on side effects, such as the amount or type of anesthetic solution, or the type of needle that was utilized. Because of this, there is a need for research of a high quality on this subject. Last but not least, the literature tends to overrepresent the negative impacts that are rarely observed in actual general practice in the real world.
