Perhaps no other advancement has altered the profession of dentistry
more than the development of safe and effective local anesthesia.
Dental practitioners and patients have benefited from increasingly
safe and effective agents for the control of surgical pain. In part
one of the course, the history of local anesthetics is reviewed, with
a focus on the reasons why early solutions were inadequate and what
prompted the search for better agents. Four important pharmacological
principles are discussed and the clinical relevance is described: pKa,
lipid solubility, protein binding, and vasodilatory activity.
