title: [Use of local anesthetics in dentistry: medico-legal aspects].
abstract: The Authors consider the problem of the clinical use of local anaesthetics in dentistry with a view to establishing possible adverse reactions, of which they provide a schematic analysis and an up to date pathogenetic survey; they thus make their observations on case historics taken from the sector of forensic medicine in Siena, and in conclusion make a jurisprudential digression in the form of a discussion on the responsibility of the practitioner in the strait of anaesthesiology, emphasizing by the same, an ever increasingly harmonizing evolution with regular judicial procedure in common law countries.
