LAWRENCE, Kan. , Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress – A typical cause of anxiety around dental visits is a fear of pain during a procedure. While many techniques and strategies exist to control the pain, some patients still report feeling a certain amount of pain, especially during more lengthy or complex procedures. One of the most common methods that dentists employ for pain control is using anesthesia to help numb the treatment area; however, anesthesia's effectiveness can wear off before the procedure is complete, leaving the patient with no recourse for the pain until the procedure is over.

Key Points: 
  • LAWRENCE, Kan. , Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anesthesia Progress – A typical cause of anxiety around dental visits is a fear of pain during a procedure.
  • This study shows that increasing the volume of anesthesia from 1.8 to 3.4 mL for lengthy dental procedures provided a longer pain control duration in procedures lasting more than 48 minutes.
  • However, it also highlighted the need for additional action in administering additional anesthesia for longer dental procedures to ensure optimal patient comfort.
  • Woo and colleagues state that anesthesia "reinjection could be a clinical strategy to ensure adequate anesthesia in the maxilla for procedures lasting 60 minutes or longer."
