Popis: The efficiency of infiltration, conduction, and intraligamental anesthesia with different anesthetics for oral therapeutic interventions was evaluated in 331 patients without concomitant somatic diseases. The levels of reactivity and personal anxiety, as well as the patient's mood have an essential impact on their own appraisal of the quality of analgesia, which the dentist should bear in mind when planning and carrying out anesthesia. Mean and high levels of anxiety are characterized by decreased subjective confidence in the quality of analgesia and can mislead the dentist, if he/she neglects these characteristics.
