Pain that occur during dental treatment - a factor often becoming crucial for a person to make decisions about whether to make a visit to the dentist. That is why the question of anesthesia in dentistry is constantly being studied by physicians and is very important. Modern doctors have a lot of means and methods to ensure high quality and effective pain relief. Dentistry without pain - the ideal sought by doctors.

Features anesthesia

Anaesthesia in Dentistry   always performed taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the problems that need to be addressed, the severity of pain, and others. It is important to know that all practiced methods of anesthesia in dentistry involve rapid patient recovery after anesthesia . After some time (about half an hour) it can no longer even drive a car.

As in surgical dentistry and restorative dentistry is practiced anesthesia, which is able to reduce the pain to the required minimum. Initially, the doctor examines the patient's problem and all selects exactly those types of anesthesia that are suitable in this case optimally.

Adequate anesthesia in dentistry involves the removal of the pain to a minimum. However, most dentists are of the opinion that to the extent to anesthetize the patient during treatment was unconscious, it is not necessary. Moreover, it is important that during the provision of dental services the doctor was able to communicate with the patient.

On the other hand, severe pain can cause a shock-like state of the human body. Therefore, severe pain during dental treatment, of course, brings a person harm. Thus, the main task of the doctor, which produces anesthesia before treatment teeth - make it so that pain relief was as effective as possible and are not dangerous to humans.

Local obezbolvainie

Modern doctors are practicing different kinds anesthesia   in dentistry. Anesthesia is divided into general . local   and combined . Local anesthesia anesthesia involves only a specific location, in which will be held manipulation. It defines a small area in which the administration of medicines by means retracts the sensitivity of nerve endings. Local anesthesia, in turn, is divided into several types.   Applique anesthesia (another name - superficial anesthesia) is used, if necessary, the surface anesthesia. It is performed without the use of a syringe. The doctor will put the drug-anesthetic on the area that requires anesthesia, using the applicator. Sometimes, in this case used as an aerosol. In this case only a few millimeters anesthetized tissue. This anesthesia in dentistry is used only in mild interventions, often practiced in pediatric dentistry.

Infiltration anesthesia   - Is analgesia, in which the respective drugs are administered using a syringe. This soft tissue impregnated anesthetic . This type of anesthesia is practiced by modern dentists often, since the procedure is well tolerated and can effectively deliver this man from pain.

Conduction anesthesia in dentistry allows the doctor to relieve the patient from pain in a relatively large area. For example, such a method can anesthetize the half jaw. This method is best suited for serious operations, but is also practiced in case there were complications after the treatment, which require urgent intervention. This procedure differs more complicated technique.

All of the techniques practiced by doctors based on the individual characteristics of the patient, the disease, and others. For example, during pregnancy a woman dentist always uses the least intrusive method of local anesthesia.

At the same time, lack of local anesthesia is primarily that the sensitivity of nerve endings disappears only for a relatively short period of time. As a result, this method can be used if a doctor treats a single tooth. But with the defeat of several teeth and, therefore, need to treat them just have to practice other methods.

As a side effect of this method is sometimes seen heart palpitations or there are vibrations Blood Pressure . This occurs under the influence adrenaline , Part of the anesthetic for the purpose of narrowing of blood vessels.

General anesthesia

If you want to completely get rid of the pain sensitivity of the organism, then practiced general anesthesia .  Anesthesia in dentistry doctors use much less than local anesthesia .  The fact that dentistry under general anesthesia has enough contraindications .  In addition, the person the treatment which was used general anesthesia, and later may experience side effects that continue for several days after the procedure .  Reviews indicate that after anesthesia the patient can observe very rapid breathing, abnormal respiratory rate, bronchospasm, changes in motor activity, muscle twitching .  In addition, as the side effects, which provokes dentistry under general anesthesia may develop agitation, increased blood pressure, and in severe cases, there is a partial loss of memory .  That is why general anesthesia in pediatric dentistry is rarely used .

As the advantages of general anesthesia is allocated to ensure complete rest and the absence of shocks to the patient, the physician in one session to perform a large number of different procedures. When using general anesthesia the patient is much less saliva, so the quality of treatment in dental fillings is increased. When general anesthesia to have lower risk of inflammatory processes after tooth extraction.

General anesthesia for dental physician chooses necessarily taking into account not only the physical but also the emotional state of the patient. Treat your teeth under general anesthesia is sometimes advisable in case if a person demonstrates a pronounced emotional stress and severe anxiety before the procedure. Therefore, dental treatment under general anesthesia is assigned to those who show signs of panic fear in relation to everything that is associated with dentistry. Especially in such a case is often practiced exodontia   under general anesthesia. Furthermore, it is expedient to use general anesthesia during the prosthesis very difficult lesions in teeth, in certain chronic diseases related.

In other cases, as a rule, the doctor did not see the need for dental treatment under general anesthesia type.

If there is a man of serious diseases of the cardiovascular system before the start of the treatment under general anesthesia it is necessary initially to pass all the necessary examinations, and during dental treatment to monitor the condition of the patient must only an experienced anesthetist. When used in the treatment of a number of general anesthesia with the doctor should have all the necessary equipment, the use of which may be needed in an emergency.

Combined anesthesia

Combined anesthesia involves a combination of part-time general anesthesia and very effective local anesthesia. This produces local anesthesia after the patient received pre-pharmacological preparations for relaxation and calm. At the same time the patient remains fully conscious. This dental anesthesia is safer than general anesthesia, and in severe cases can even be used during pregnancy or serious illness. Accordingly, severe consequences described above, when combined anesthesia absent.

Anesthesia during pregnancy

In modern dentistry, anesthesia for the teeth may not apply in general only in the event that the laser treatment is practiced. In this case, the processing of the tooth patient does not feel much discomfort, so anesthesia in dentistry this method is not needed. That is why this method of treatment, the doctors advised to practice during pregnancy.

However, dentists strongly recommend that pregnant women visit the dentist and if possible only traditional treatment. Local anesthetics that are used in modern dentistry does not have a negative impact on the future mother and the unborn child. Most importantly - the physician should be aware of a woman's pregnancy before starting treatment and pick up medication for pain relief, taking into account this important moment. The most common use of such a preparation ultrakain Which is completely harmless, and thus produces a pronounced effect. The drug is relatively rapidly excreted from the human body and almost gets to the fetus through the placenta. Therefore, it is used as when filling and during tooth extraction in pregnant women.
