Local anesthetic agents are widely used in dentistry. It has major role in all field of dentistry especially in oral surgery, Pediatrics, Endodontics, Periodontics etc. The only drawback associated with LA is that occurrence of soft tissue anaesthesia can persist for three to five hours, while the procedure itself usually lasts for less than an hour. Patients experience limitation of function in terms of speech difficulty, drinking neating etc. All these events leave negative impact on minds of patients; hence they avoid visiting dental offices. In order to reverse these events, a new drug named OraVerse (phentolamine mesylate) is available to us. This drug is known for its LA reversal ability and effects of local dental anaesthetic.
