Abstract

Patients experience painless treatment in current health care since local anesthesia (LA) makes it possible for most procedures in ambulatory dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Modern local anesthetics are extremely efficient and safe drugs, and the great majority of patients encounter neither unpleasant side effects nor lasting local or systemic complications. Vasovagal syncope is a frequent psychogenic reaction experienced upon anesthetic injection that is unrelated to the particular drug used.
