J Can Dent Assoc.
1989 Dec.
Abstract
The practice of dentistry necessitates the administration of numerous drugs by the oral route or by injection. This paper presents a case report in which a patient experienced an acute allergic reaction following mandibular block with articaine hydrochloride for dental extraction. It also reviews the pathophysiology of allergy and the office protocol required to successfully manage such a potentially life-threatening reaction.
