- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this review is to review and discuss the effect of local anesthesia on hot tooth. Objective: The objective of this review is to summarize the current knowledge regarding the effect of local anesthesia on hot tooth. Background: Achieving profound pulpal anesthesia is a cornerstone in endodontic practice and dentistry. Profound pulpal anesthesia during the root canal procedure benefits not only the patient but also the dentist who will be less stressed worrying about patient reactions or sudden movement during therapy. Achieving adequate anesthesia in patients with a hot tooth can be a challenge. Hot tooth refers to a pulp that has been diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, with spontaneous and moderate-to-severe pain. Reason: Providing profound local anesthesia for teeth with irreversible pulpitis is a challenge for most of the dental practitioner. They should have knowledge on various supplemental injection techniques and also how to use it.
