title: Problems complicating dental treatment with local anaesthesia or sedation: prevention and management.
abstract: The provision of dental treatment under both local anaesthesia and sedation has an excellent safety record. However, problems that either complicate treatment or lead to medical emergencies can arise. This paper considers the prevention of foreseeable problems and the treatment of unforeseeable emergencies in the dental surgery.
