Local Anesthetic Techniques - The technique of local anesthetic administration is an important consideration in pediatric patient behavior guidance.3 Age-appropriate nonthreatening terminology, distraction, topical anesthetics, proper injection technique, and nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia/anxiolysis can help the patient have a positive experience during adminis- tration of local anesthesia.3-5 In pediatric dentistry, theIntrapulpal Injection Deposition of local anesthetic directly into the pulp chamber of a pulpally involved tooth provides effective anesthesia fro pulpal extirpation and instrumentation zThe intrapulpal injection may be used on any tooth when difficulty in providing profound pain control exists z z techniques anesthesia Traumatic deposited. control* anesthesia.Advanced local anesthetic techniques include the Vazirani-Akinosi mandibular block, intraseptal injections, and pre-puncture technique for the C-CLAD.NEW! Coverage of dynamic and emerging topics include newer anesthetic agents, buffering of anesthetics, determination of drug dosages, armamentarium and syringe preparation, maxillary and mandibular injection techniques and �The improvements in techniques for local anesthesia are probably the most significant advances that have occurred in dental science. This paper provides an update on comparatively newer gadgets that are less commonly used to deliver local anesthetics.

Field block anesthesia describes the infiltration of local anesthetic in a circumferential pattern around, and often under, a surgical site. Like nerve blocks, field blocks are
