Following will be the choice of anaesthesia in an infected tooth posted for extraction:
D i.e. Enflurane "General anaesthesia is indicated in case of acute infection when LA may not be effective because of the local change in pH and there is a risk of spreading infecton".Q Anaesthesia in Dental Extraction Local anesthesia would be adequate except in few situations as - - inability to tolerate dental treatment using LA (especially children). - failure of previous attempt to treat under LA. - patients with special needs or disability which make it impossible to sit still (e.g. uncontrolled movements). - allergy to LA - acute infection when local anesthesia may not be affective because of the local change in pHQ and there is risk of spreading infection. Enflurane is most suitable inhalational agent for dental anesthesia with fewer irritant propeiesQ than isoflurane and a sho recovery time. Isoflurane is widely used in contemporary practice, but is not recommended for dental surgery in spontaneously breathing patients as it is irritant and is associated with coughing, salivation, and desaturation.
