- Title
Effects of Local Anesthetics on Pulpal Blood Flow in Dogs.
- Authors
KIM, S.; EDWALL, L.; TROWBRIDGE, H.; CHIEN, S.
- Abstract
Effects of 2% lidocaine with epinephrine (1:100,000) administered by the various local anesthetic techniques--i.e., infiltration, mandibular block, and intraseptal injection--on pulpal blood flow in dogs were determined using the 15 μm radioisotope-labeled micro-sphere injection method. The pulpal blood flow decreased significantly with all three techniques; however, the most drastic reduction occurred in the molar teeth with the intraseptal injection. When 2% lidocaine without epinephrine was used in the intraseptal infection, pulpal blood flow increased significantly.
