ASSOCIATION OF COMPLICATIONS WITH EXTRACTIONS USING LIGNOCAINE WITHOUT ADRENALINE IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT HYPERTENSION AGED BETWEEN 75-90 YEARS OF AGE - A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Local anesthetic agents are chemicals that reversibly block the transmission of the action potential of nerve membranes. An essential prerequisite to success in dentistry is to achieve good quality local anesthesia (LA). Local anesthetic agents are normally associated with absence of pain during surgical intervention in bone and soft tissue.The aim of this study was to determine whether lignocaine without adrenaline has any effect on hypertension patients. A total of 89000 cases were reviewed between June 2019 to March 2020 for patients who had undergone extraction using lignocaine without adrenaline in individuals.A sample size of 3 case sheets were reviewed for extractions using lignocaine without adrenaline . The data was obtained from dental treatment records of a private dental institute. Data was analysed using SPSS software and Mann-Whitney was done. The results showed that there's minimal usage of lignocaine without adrenaline in patients with hypertension. Within the limitations of the present study, there's minimal usage of lignocaine without adrenaline in patients with hypertension.
