title: Clinical trials with bupivacaine in oral surgery.
abstract: Bupivacaine HCL is compared to lidocaine with respect to clinical use in oral surgery. Onset, potency, and duration of anesthesia with it are documented. The major advantage of its use is the long duration of its anesthetic effect, with a very slow return to full sensation, which eases the patient through the early postoperative period.
