1. explain to patient
2. dry area with 2x2 gauze
3. apply small amount with cotton applicator to area of injection
4. wait for anesthetic to take affect
What are the symptoms of an allergic response?
redness,
edema of mucous membranes,
Sloughing of tissue
Which is more likely to cause a toxic reaction of the Benzocaine, the ester type or amide type?
ester type
what are symptoms of overdose of topical anesthetics
-Patient agitation
-speech irregularity
-tremors, convulsions
-increased BP, pulse and respirations
what types of intra oral tissue have the fastest rate of absorption of topical anesthetic?
mucous membranes or
disrupted skin
what are the allergic responses to topical anesthetic?
redness,
edema of mucous membranes
sloughing of tissue
What type of topical anesthetics are most likely to produce an allergic reaction?
ester
what is the name of the anesthetic that is classified as a keytone?
Dyclonine hydrochloride
What form of topical anesthetic is not recommend for oral use and is against the law for use by dental hygienist in the state of Florida?
Cocaine Hydrchloride

Schedule II drug
what was the first local anesthetic? And it was isolated from from coca leaves by who
cocaine
Albert Niemann in Germany in the 1860s
Who was the first to describe the injection of cocaine into the sensory nerve trunk to create surgical anesthesia?
William Stewart Halsted
When was the first analog of cocaine produced?
1905
a chemical molecule is modified to retain and enhance certain holistic characteristics of the original substance while ridding it of other unwanted characteristics
analog
first synthetic local anesthetic was __?
procaine
Trade name for procaine
Novocain
The first modern local anesthetic agent
Lidocaine, trade name Xylocaine.
When was the first lidocaine invented?
1940s
Mechanism of Action of Local Anesthetics
1. Blocks conduction of nerve impulse
2. Reduces or prevents permeability to sodium ions
3. the anesthetics binds to sodium receptor site and nerve transmission fails
Carpule Content
amide anesthetic
Vasoconstritor
Antioxidant--sodium metabisulfite, sodium bisulfite
sterile water
sodium chloride
characteristic of vasoconstritors
1. slows rate at which anesthetic enters the circulation
2. increases duration of anesthetic effect
3. increases depth and profoundness of anesthetic
There are two types of vasoconstrictors, what are they?
epinephrine

1:20,000 (.09mg/carp)
Which % of vasoconstrictor would provide the best hemostasis?
1:50,000
Duration of LA:
