Is giving anaesthetic an "art" that some dentists just aren't good at?

JimSocal - 29 Dec 2005 21:19 GMT
Had my root canal on #30 today, and Damn! It hurt like hell!

First of all, the guy gave me like 3 shots, whereas in the past I've
only had one or two, it seems to me.

Then he started working on me, and everything was going along pretty
well, when about 2/3 the way through, BAM! I suddenly had a STRONG
pain that was almost unbearable, shooting through my whole lower right
jaw and lingering to the point I was praying it would go away very
soon.

When I reacted, he gave me a couple more shots of anaesthetic (that
makes 5 in total) which made it better in about 1 (long) minute.

Then when I was done, it started hurting immediately, not terribly
like before but definitely more so than other times I've had root
canals.

I'm wondering if maybe he wasn't putting the anaesthetic in the right
spots, or something? Why did it suddenly hurt like hell in the middle
of the procedure?

Now I"m sitting here an hour after the procedure, have taken 3
ibuprofens (at once) and it had no affect.

Also, my face and head is numb all the way up to my right temple,
another thing I've never had happen before.

Now my whole lower jaw hurts like a tooth ache.

I've always heard people say how terrible root canals were, and after
having 2-3 I thought they were over-reacting. NOW I see what they are
talking about. This one was really painful!

Also the guy used some kind of rubber thing that kept my mouth open
which I've never had anyone use before. What is the purpose of this
and why do most dentists I've been to not use this, but this guy did?
I found it very uncomfortable.

Just glad this is done, and mostly I HOPE he did it RIGHT! Do some
root canals just hurt more than others, due to no fault of the endo?

Factors that can affect success of anasthesia are

1) site of injection
2) type of injection  eg intra lig, intra osseus, regional block,
infiltration
3) type of drug
4) blocking off accessory nerves that may cause inervation to the pulp of
the tooth
5) quantity of LA / Strength
6) Vasoconstrictor.

Now your american numbering system has got me all confused, so I dont even
know which tooth you are talking about.

The other day I had a hot molar LR second molar, which had been temporized.
I gave an ID and lingual block, which had worked in the sense that the LA
was in the correct spot, and the fact that her right part of the lower lip
was very very numb.
I was drilling away in the pulp chamber when she felt pain. I gave some
intrapulpal that eased the pain for a few minutes.
Gave a long buccal.

Uptil now I had just been using xylotox (lignocaine 1:80000 adrenaline)

I then gave another ID block while I still had the chance, as its a pain
removing the rubber dam frame to anaethatise, this time using Mepivocaine.
Apparantly Mepivocaine is better at blocking C fibres.

I cant really put my finger on whether it was the long buccal or the
mepivocaine or both, but the RCT when without further pain episode.

Anyone else comment on the efficaficy of Mepivocaine?

cheers
Dartos - 30 Dec 2005 14:14 GMT
I use it all the time for root canals and extractions.
Not so much because it is 'better' at anesthesia, but
because it lasts a loonnnggg time.

Sorry dude, Marcaine is much better at long lasting anesthesia.
Onset is much longer than most dental anesthetics.
Am giving one Zor, wait a minute or two and then give
one Mar. Adjunctive anesthesia as necessary.

Marcaine is good for Endo and Ext, or multi-C&B.

BTW it's 'Mepiv*i*cane'
I use 3% plain if vasoconstrictor is a concern.
Am using Polocaine, and do not use any Mepivi
with vasoconstrictor.

Zorcaine (Cook-Waite)
<Articaine Hydrochloride 4% with Epinephrine 1:100,000>
Is now my first choice anesthetic.
(switched from Septocaine because it is made in France)

I have almost completely abandoned  Lidocaine
except for 2% Xylocaine 1:50K epi.
Sometimes useful for hemorrhage control.
Straight epi works much better but shelf life is a concern.

An electrosurg may be in my immediate future.
Would probably only use it 6x/year though.

Jim,

I am sorry.  That was not like my most recent experience with endo (on
two anterior teeth).  However I have been told that front teeth are
"easier" to do. Afterwards I felt some lingering pain for a few days
but  nothing compared to the pain I had before the RCTs.

Many years ago I had a RC on a back molar that was not much fun.   A
few days after the procedure, the nerve felt like a rubber band being
twanged over and over.  So the endodontist went back in.  He said he
found another canal that he had missed the first time around.... but
after that, all was fine.

Hope you feel better soon.  If the pain does not get better call your
endodontist.

JMO,
Sue (patient)

To answer your side question.....

I haven't had my endodontics or anesthesia classes yet, but we have learned
about the "rubber dam".   It's a device that is helpful in isolating only a
couple teeth at a time to make them easier to see and to make it easier to
keep them dry.   (Imagine a rubber glove with just one of the finger tips
cut off, only the glove is in your mouth, and the fingers are your teeth.)

The rubber dam is also a benefit for you because it covers your entire mouth
and thus if the dentist drops anything during the procedure, it probably
will NOT fall down your throat.  This is probably the best reason to use
one.  Many of the things that could fall down your throat are sharp and not
pleasant to swallow.

Many dentists prefer not to use rubber dams for two reasons.  First,
sometimes the dam takes an extra few minutes to put on, maybe several
minutes and several attempts for someone less experienced. It can sometimes
be an annoyance to work with.  The second reason that a dentist might not
use it is because they know that the patients often find the device pretty
uncomfortable, as you experienced.  People are often uncomfortable just
going to the dentist so there's no sense in making it worse by putting the
rubber dam on if it can be avoided.

But overall, the rubber dam is definitely a benefit to you by providing a
"safety net" in case any little tools or parts happen to fall in your mouth,
so if your dentist wants to put one on you, he or she is just trying to keep
the procedure safe while creating a nice working environment for the
procedure.

When a lower block does not work the first time, give a second injection
with a different LA further back and more medial.

George Chatzipetros - 30 Dec 2005 12:34 GMT
In many ways, the rubber dam can be compared to the surgical drapes
used to isolate the body part being operated on in an operating
theatre. It is a device used primarily to isolate the tooth having the
root canal and ensure that the working environment is not contaminated
by saliva. A side benefit is that it makes the tooth easier to see and
work on and will prevent any  instrument from going down your throat
(these files can get very tricky and slippery). The rubber dam is very
important in the primary goal of the root canal, which is to remove the
bacteria that have colonised the tooth. The different species of
bacteria inhabiting an infected root is usually less than 10, BUT if
saliva is allowed to contaminate the canal system, they can easily
reach 300 different species, making the treatment more difficult and
the outcome less predictable.
As for the reason your anaesthesia didn't work that well... there are
so many factors it is impossible to say for sure. Suffice to say that
root canal treatment requires perhaps the deepest anaesthesia of all
dental treatments... an injection that seem  to numb the tooth
sufficiently for a filling might not cut the mustard for RCT. "Hot"
teeth are notoriously difficult to numb and can make you look like very
green, especially for a new patient.

What do you mean by "Hot teeth"? By looking green, you mean the
dentist looks like an amateur because he is not getting the area numb
enough? or?

"hot teeth" are easy to spot; patient comes in with a large cup
of cold beverage. Usually ice water but sometimes soda.

Infection changes the pH of tissue and interferes with
the ionization of local anesthetics. Therefore they become
less effective. In practice you literally have to 'flood' the area.

Hyper-reactive human nervous tissue is notoriously harder
to achieve profound local anesthesia.
Intra-Ligamentary or Intra-Boney local anesthesia is
sometimes the only option left to the practitioner.

Gotta disagree here buddy.

The primary goal of endodontic treatment is to obturate
the canal(s) creating a 'hermetic' seal; which is nearly impossible
in the presence of moisture.

Of course a good canal prep is essential to good obturation.

RD is the standard of care,
Current endodontic theory states that if any tooth is not
amenable to isolation with a RD then it should be extracted.

We can elaborate on the disinfection procedure before obturation,
but all is moot without a good canal preparation.

Yeah, I can do a molar in 30 - 40 min, with an excellent result.
But I ain't most guys. Sista, AC, came down to Memphis for a RCT
on #15. We nice a nice snifter or two of The Balvenie, Double Wood
afterwards. AC never had any pain whatsoever.

I use a rubber dam quite often for regular work and always for root
canals.  I've had very little opposition from patients and I have
even had positive comments as to not getting choked on all of the
water, ground up tooth, ground up old fillings, bad tasting chemicals,
etc. going down their throat.

In the US, if you ever got sued over a root canal case, you could do
everything right, but leave off the rubber dam and lose.  It is the
standard of care to put on a rubber dam before endo, period.

Me too. And always for RCT.
If you cannot isolate a tooth with RD for RCT it should be
extracted.

Same here, especially for multiple restorations in one sitting.

Yep, as previously stated, if the tooth cannot be isolated with a
RD... Ext is the recommended Tx.

Entirely bullsh*t.
It's about a dry field 'probie'.

If you are dropping instruments down a patients' throat,
perhaps you should consider a different profession.
Like, 2-stroke motor mechanic, or flippin' burgers.

RD is used mainly for the dentists' convenience.
As an added bonus, a dry field may result in better restorations.

>  This is probably the best reason to use

What a load of manure.
RD use in endodontic Tx is not only for a dry field, but
includes an attempt to reduce further canal contamination.
Also, one cannot make a *hermetic* seal of the canal space(s)
in the presence of moisture IMO.

Again:
"If you are dropping instruments down a patients' throat,
perhaps you should consider a different profession."

>Many dentists prefer not to use rubber dams for two reasons.

Whamatus,

Like I've said, I'm still a dental student and haven't had endodontics
courses yet.  I apologize for not being able to say more about the dry field
benefits of a rubber dam in endodontic treatment.  However, I assumed that
everything that I have learned so far about the rubber dam is true,
otherwise why would they bother teaching it?

I usually read clinical Q&A here just out of curiosity since we haven't
started our clinical courses yet, but in this case when I saw that JimSocal
asked about a rubber dam, I didn't see any harm in telling him what I know
about it.  Just because my information is "textbook" doesn't mean that it
isn't true.  A few people noticed that I wasn't able to cover everything
though, so they filled in the rest.  We're just talking about a rubber dam
here, it's not like I'm trying to give advice on complicated treatment
options.

I know that things are not supposed to fall down a patient's throat,
obviously, but that doesn't mean that it can't happen.  I agree that if
someone drops things on a regular basis, then they might be in the wrong
profession, but even dentists can make mistakes or accidents out of their
control can happen, so why is it wrong to mention that a rubber dam has
safety benefits?  I didn't mean to make it sound like things are dropped
often, and I apologize if it came across that way, but I'm sure the patient
would like to know that if it ever does happen, the rubber dam will likely
prevent harm.  It's like riding in a car; I don't put on my seat belt
because I expect to get in a crash, I put it on just in case a crash happens
to occur.

Spring semester starts on Tuesday, so I probably wont be around very much
from then on anyway, but thank you for your help and advice.

Was just trying to alert you to the fact that JimSonWeed is a troll
and a lame assed biatch with no fargin' spine.
Many of the SMD DDS regs are practioners with ~20+ yrs experience.
Hang around 'probie' and you just may learn something.

As previously stated, that is a CYA position taught to you by those
who can't.

Remember ?

Those who can, do.
Those who cannot, teach.

The patient... hmmm. The patient.
Most patients' really only cares that the practitoner takes care of
their problem and doesn't cause them pain in the process.

Good advice from Whamatus here. His strategy earned him an 'A' in his

Damn, JimSonWeed,

You let the inflammation spread into the medullary bone
so long, due to your hard-headedness, that of course
anesthesia is going to be difficult.

It's called a 'rubber dam' and is the standard for endodontic
treatment. Some say that if it is impossible to place a stable RD
the tooth should be extracted.
I tend to agree.

>I found it very uncomfortable.

You're just a complete waste of protoplasm ain't ya ?

>Just glad this is done, and mostly I HOPE he did it RIGHT! Do some
>root canals just hurt more than others, due to no fault of the endo?

Didn't you say that you went to an 'Endodontist' ?
That's a dental specialist in RCT, dumba**.

Your pissweed pain is due to the fact that you put off
the inevitable. It is harder to anesthetize a 'hot' tooth.
Pipe was right about the partial necrosis of a multi-rooted tooth.
Wait too long and you may pay the price, in spades, dollars,
or hearts.

On a positive note, it is good that you had the necessary treatment
done. Now maybe you will quit bitchin' and moanin' about this tooth
and leave SMD alone.

That may be too much to hope for, but after all,
this is written on the last day of 2005.

Wish you well in 2006 and hope that all of your implants integrate
without complication.

Happy New Year,

calls someone names, without provocation, and/or puts people down
without reason.

But this one last time I will respond.

He vomited out: "And this is unusual, why ?
Because you decided to put off the inevitable ?
Ya think ? "

Well, I decided to wait BASED ON MY ENDO'S RECOMMENDATION. And that is
wrong of me, on what planet? Oh, I suppose your internet diagnosis is
far more accurate...

Whatadick insulted: "Now am thinking that you're just a wimp. "
Whatanasss further insulted: "You're just a complete waste of
protoplasm ain't ya ?"
And finally Whatajerk really stuck it to me with : "Didn't you say that
you went to an 'Endodontist' ?
That's a dental specialist in RCT, dumba"

Okay, you're really a good insult artist. Now why don't you learn how
to be a good dentist?

Pipe was right about the partial necrosis of a multi-rooted tooth.
Wait too long and you may pay the price, in spades, dollars,
or hearts."

Yeah, you're a real piece of work. I waited too long? Based on what?
Have you seen the xrays? Do you have ANY effing idea what is going on
with my tooth? Again, I waited BASED ON MY ENDO'S - WHO SAW THE TOOTH,
EXAMINED IT AND LOOKED AT XRAYS - OPINION.

And then Whatadumbass opined:
"On a positive note, it is good that you had the necessary treatment
done. Now maybe you will quit bitchin' and moanin' about this tooth
and leave SMD alone. "

I came here for opinions and help. Some dentists seem to be able to
offer that help without insulting people; and I guess some can't. Or
some, like yourself, would rather just act all superior and put other
down because it makes you feel better about yourself. I feel sorry for
you.

As to my leaving SMD alone, as long as some good dentists are willing
to answer questions and inform people about dental matters, I will hang
around as needed. I will just kill-file the a.sholes who have nothing
better to do than start flame wars by insulting people who never did
anything to them, and who have done nothing other than try to learn
about dental issues and talk to other patients who come here. YOU are
the dumb a.s, and I would never have said it if you didn't malign me
with insults, but I aint gonna just stand by and take this sh.t from
you, you a.shole.

So, there you have it. From now on I'll kill file you. In fact I think
I already did, it's just that I was reading this via Google Groups at
work so I saw your post and it pissed me off.

I suggest you kill file me, too, then we can just ignore each other
peaceably.

By the way, I have seldom seen such a group of argumentative,
intolerant jerks such as frequent this group. There are some very good
people here like the Dr.'s Bornfeld and a few others whose names escape
me at the moment, but they know who they are. Then there are the
asswipes who have nothing better to do than to complain about me and
Sue and anyone else I guess who is not a dentist... Fine, if you want
this to be a dentist only group, then take a vote and if that is the
will of the majority, I'll abide by it.

I feel sorry for you and your patients.

Don't pick on my sister.  She is really very sweet in person.  She just has
little patience for people who keep doing the same thing, but expecting a
different result.
