Special instructions
If long-term surgical intervention on the face is required, sensitivity reactions are observed to many local anesthetics; if the patient is mentally unstable, general anesthesia or sedation (medicinal sleep) is used.
It is also possible to lubricate the tissues with an anesthetic. This method is well suited for treating small patients or when removing dental plaque. The drug is applied with a cotton swab. Electrophoresis or jet anesthesia, using an injector, an electromagnet and laser, and freezing are very rarely used.
Local complications of local anesthesia in dentistry are short-term. Thus, when using disposable needles, they very rarely, but can break. To prevent this, the needle is not inserted to its full length.
To avoid pain during the injection, the anesthetic is administered very slowly. There are also nerve injuries, which slightly reduce sensitivity for a month. The frequency of this complication is about 20%. Sometimes, a spasm of the masticatory muscles may occur. It is associated with trauma to the vessels by the needle. Tissue necrosis may also develop.
The advantages of local anesthesia in dentistry over general anesthesia are obvious: in most cases, local anesthesia is easily tolerated, and the toxicity of local anesthetics is minimal.
However, there are cases when general anesthesia is justified. This can be mask anesthesia, endotracheal or intravenous. For general anesthesia, a dental clinic must have a special permit. Most often, general anesthesia is used for dental implantation. Before general anesthesia, the patient undergoes an examination, as before an operation, doctors study his anamnesis in detail. Under general anesthesia, you can treat many diseased teeth at once and save time. General anesthesia is contraindicated in case of heart disease, stroke, asthma, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases with a significant decrease in their function, pregnancy.
When administering pain relief, caution should be exercised in patients with diabetes mellitus and a recent myocardial infarction.
Anesthesia reinforces the normal reaction to dental treatment. Dentistry and pain are incompatible concepts today. Therefore, fewer and fewer people are afraid of dental treatment. You can always choose an anesthetic that suits you. Toxic novocaine is no longer used. The patient does not experience stress and negative emotions when visiting the dentist, and the doctor calmly performs all manipulations. The success of the treatment is determined not only by how new the instruments and technologies are used, not only by the doctor's skills, but also by the psychological attitude of the patient. And it cannot be positive if the patient is afraid. This factor is especially important in dental surgeries, since a person who is even slightly sensitive to pain and calmly tolerates dental treatment without anesthesia will not want to remove teeth without anesthesia. Especially when it is necessary to install implants by implanting them into the bone. Most clinics use high-quality and safe imported drugs for anesthesia. They can be used by pregnant women, they do not contain adrenaline. Sedatives can also be used for calming. This is called premedication.
Shelf life
The shelf life of Ubistesin is 2 years. Do not use after the expiration date.
