Manual of Local Anaesthesia in Dentistry is the third edition of this highly illustrated guide, which provides an overview of anatomy, neurophysiology and anaesthetic techniques in dentistry.

Divided into seven sections, this book begins with a history of anaesthesia, followed by applied anatomy of maxilla and mandible, neurophysiology and pharmacology. Subsequent sections cover indications and contraindications of local anaesthesia, equipment, techniques of local anaesthesia including new injection techniques, complications and their management.

The final section is brand new to this edition and features guidelines for managing exposure to blood borne pathogens, and a chapter featuring questions and answers on anaesthesia topics. Other new chapters in this edition include Ergonomics in Dental Practice, Local Anaesthesia in Children, and Medical Emergencies in Dental Office.
