Hypertension and local anesthesia in dental practice

Second revised and enlarged edition

The fight against pain has long been an important problem in medicine. Pain relief is a major part of modern dentistry. Knowledge of the matter is of prime importance because of the painful course of most diseases. Empiricism in the use of painkillers has long been history.
The quest to optimize local anesthesia leads to the synthesis of new medications, the goal of which is to increase activity, at the expense of reducing side effects on organs and systems. The impact of local anesthetics on patients with various co-morbidities deters many dentists from using them. There are a number of studies aimed at elucidating the negative effects of anesthetics, and at the same time developing algorithms for their use due to their necessity. Studies related to the role of pain and stress as a factor in increasing arterial pressure in the dental office and the place of premedication for the prevention of complications were reviewed.
All this turns local anesthesia in dental practice into a general medical problem, which necessitates the study of options for optimizing the algorithms for the application of local anesthesia in all groups of patients.
The aim of this book is to assist students, trainees and dental practitioners in their daily activities.
