Local and Systemic Comlications of Local Anesthesia

In summary, this dissertation offers a thorough and evidence-based examination of the complications associated with local anesthesia. It highlights that while LA is indispensable in dental practice, its administration demands responsibility, precision, and a deep understanding of its potential risks. For pediatric dentists, this knowledge is especially critical given the unique anatomical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics of children. Through careful patient assessment, adherence to protocols, and readiness to address complications, the safety and efficacy of local anesthesia can be maximized. Ultimately, the goal is not just to numb the pain-but to do so in a way that safeguards patient well-being, builds trust, and enhances the overall quality of dental care.
