Articaine and paresthesia: epidemiological studies

Daniel A Haas. J Am Coll Dent. 2006 Fall.

Abstract

Permanent paresthesia following a local anesthetic injection is a possible adverse event. Epidemiological studies have suggested that the 4% solutions used in dentistry, namely prilocaine and articaine, are more highly associated with this occurrence. This article reviews the epidemiological evidence regarding articaine and paresthesia.
