Abstrakt: Much patient distress could be avoided by the use of 25-gauge or heavier short-bevel needles, aspirating syringes, or cartridges, and the slow administration of minimum volumes of local analgesic solution. In the treatment of toxic or psychic reactions, the administration of oxygen is usually best. No dental office is adequately equipped unless the dentist can immediately administer oxygen under pressure. If the patient does not recover rapidly, medical assistance should be summoned. The spread of serum hepatitis can be prevented in the dental office by the use of sterilized needles and syringes and by never using a portion of any one analgesic cartridge on more than one patient.
