Abstract

Pain control according to sensory nerve innervation in the oral and maxillofacial area is an important part of clinical dentistry for treating diseases of teeth, periodontal tissue, oral mucosa, temporomandibular joint, and maxillofacial area. Local anesthesia has been used the basic pain control procedure in dental treatment. Dental local anesthesia is a basic procedure in the curriculum of dental schools, and is the most frequently used dental procedure by many dentists in clinical practice. As one of these procedures, we would like to review the considerations of whether clinical guidelines for these procedures are necessary.
