After-Pain Following the Use of Conductive Anesthesia*
Ralph H. Fouser, D. D. S., and
S. D. Salem
CONDUCTIVE ANESTHESIA has the distinction of being one of the most important factors in the development of the present high state of perfection of our modern methods of dental practice, but there is still much to be desired, which mill be developed with our ever-increasing experience. Of the many methods and fads of modern dentistry, conductive anesthesia has held to an ever-increasing popularity especially when its use rests upon the scientific basis with which it must be employed to insure the greatest degree of success. Nearly all of the profession have had access to a knowledge of conductive anesthesia. The technic is mastered with study and experience, but there is one feature of this method of anesthesia that is a most important one in our complete success, and it is one that has many times been neglected. but often has given us serious concern, e. g., the pain following the operation, which many times may be prevented with a little more study and care in our use of this method of anesthesia, as the successful termination of local anesthesia is not only a complete anesthesia but the elimination of the after-pain to as great extent as possible.
