Topical Anesthesia
195
Topical or surface anesthetic is applied to the oral mucosa
without injection. This is possible because some local anesthetics have the ability to superficially anesthetize the
mucosa. In contrast, the skin is anesthetized poorly because
of the barrier effect of the stratum corneum, with only
base forms proving somewhat efficacious (Dalili and
Adriani 1971). However, nonwounds, abrasions, or burns), as well as the oral mucosa,
can be anesthetized with cationic and base forms (Campbell
and Adriani1958; Wehner and Hamilton1984).
intact skin (i.e. affected by
Factors Affecting Topical Anesthesia
withLocal Anesthetics
A series of factors affect the efficacy of this approach and
must be taken into account.
Local Anesthetic
For a local anesthetic to be effective, it must have a high
partition coefficient (highly liposolubility) if it is to act as a
clinically useful topical anesthetic (Gangorosa 1981). It
must also have higher concentrations than those used in
infiltrative techniques. However, the absolute maximum
doses are lower. This is because in the 1950s, tetracaine (an
ester anesthetic) was very used as a topical anesthetic. The
drug was very easily absorbed with higher peak plasma levels as compared to peak plasma levels achieved after subcutaneous administration (Adriani and Campbell 1956),
thus leading to poisoning due to overdose, more frequently
when administered topically than parenterally (Adriani
and Campbell 1956; Campbell and Adriani 1958). The
peaks observed in currently used topical anesthetic preparations are not as high as initially suspected (Table12.1).
The hydrochloride forms (salt) must have an optimal pH
of 6.1–6.6, since more acidic levels (pH < 6.1) have the disadvantage that their efficacy and duration is decreased.
This is because the free base form is better absorbed in the
mucosa (Campbell and Adriani 1958), and although acid
salt is more stable, it must be alkalinized to become the
base form on coming into contact with the mucosa. In
addition, the buffering capacity of the mucosa is very limited, in contrast with subcutaneous administration, where
tissue fluid is an effective buffer against acids (Campbell
and Adriani 1958; Adriani et al. 1964; Adriani and
Zepernick1964). Base form preparations have the disadvantage that they are not very stable and are easily
inactivated.
Application Time
Application time is very important because some anesthetics or anesthetic formulations require shorter application
times to be effective, e.g. benzocaine 20% or lidocaine 5%,
both in gel or ointment or paste. Others need longer times,
e.g. EMLA 5% cream (eutectic mixture of local anesthetic
consisting of 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine) and lidocaine adhesive strips (Dentipatch®) (Annexes 19 and 20).
It is important to remember that the considerable moisture of the oral cavity tends to inhibit adhesion to the
mucosal surface, therefore maximum absorption is
achieved in the first 30 seconds (Carr and Horton 2001a).
Furthermore, the longer the anesthetic remains in contact
with the mucosa, the better it will penetrate (Meechan2000).
Method ofApplication
As mentioned above, the high degree of moisture in the
mouth disperses topical local anesthetics easily by diluting
them in saliva and preventing them from reaching suitable
concentrations at a specific site, thus causing them to lose
their efficacy (Carr and Horton 2001a). Formulations in
solution, i.e. liquids, are those that most easily disperse in
the mouth, with the result that they lose much of their efficacy and are more likely to fail (Annex 19) and anesthetize

distal parts of the mouth such as the pharynx, thus hampering swallowing (Haasio etal.1990). They can also cause
a bad taste, which often leads to increased salivation to
counter it, thus further increasing dilution and reducing
efficacy (Evers and Haegerstam1981).
Aerosol formulations are subject to the same problems
as liquid formulations. In addition, the doses administered
are difficult to control (Campbell and Adriani 1958) and
the drug is sometimes inhaled on application (Roberts
andSowray1987). Aerosols are not recommended in children because the noise they make and their bad taste (which
spreads through the mouth) can lead to uncontrollable bad
behavior (Frasier1967; Evers and Haegerstam1981).
We can therefore deduce that topical anesthetics in a liq-
uid formulation and aerosol should not be recommended
owing to their low efficacy (Annex 19) and the abovemen-
tioned problems, therefore gel, ointment, cream, and paste
formulations are preferred.
Amount Administered
The amount may have some impact, although we do not
know the optimal amounts to ensure maximum efficacy.
It is important to distinguish between the amount of
formulation and the amount of anesthetic, for example
100
mg of benzocaine 20% in cream =20 mg of benzo-
caine and 1
g of lidocaine (1000 mg) 5% in gel=50 mg of
lidocaine.
We must remember that in many cases, anesthetic is
also administered by injection and that this amount must
be added to the amount of the topical agent to avoid problems with toxicity due to excessive dosing (Cannel 1996;
Meechan etal.1998). If a patient were to receive the maximum recommended dose of a topical anesthetic, the
patient could not receive any other topical or injected
local anesthetic.
Types ofPain
Some clinical trials have shown that needle prick is a
painful stimulus that can be anesthetized better than
contact with bone or an injection (Annex 19). In addition, electrical stimuli or pressure can be more intense
and therefore more useful for evaluating the efficacy of
topical anesthesia (Adriani et al. 1964; Adriani and
Zepernick1964).

Area ofthe Mouth
Topical anesthesia is not as effective in all areas of the
mouth. The mucosa and the buccal, maxillary, and man-
dibular gingiva are anesthetized easier than the palate, as
shown in clinical trials (Annex 19). This observation is
logical, given that the palatal mucosa is much thicker
and keratinized, therefore its permeability is lower than
in any other part of the oral mucosa (Lesch etal.1989).
Furthermore, as it has less subcutaneous tissue, the
fibromucosa, which is formed by denser fibers, adheres
tightly to the periosteum, thus leading to a more painful
injection resulting from stretching of the tissue (Gill and
Orr II 1979; Keller 1985; Kreider et al. 2001; Bhalla
etal.2009).
Topical anesthesia is not effective at reducing the discom-
fort or pain caused by mandibular block (Annex 19), since
the needle penetrates about 20–25 mm into the pterygomandibular space and topical anesthetic cannot reach
this depth (Meechan etal.1998).
Effect ofTopical Anesthesia
Topical anesthesia has a series of effects, which can be
summarized as follows:
1) Anesthesia of the fibromucosa is the main function,
since it penetrates 1–3
nerve endings can detect pain. In infiltrative techniques,
penetration of the needle into the subcutaneous tissues
and muscle fascia by a few millimeters is less painful
because sensitivity to pain is reduced at this level
(Meadows1970).
2) It has an important placebo effect that boosts the
action of the anesthetic and calms the patient
(Kincheloe et al. 1991; Martin et al. 1994; Roghani
etal.1999), therefore it is very important to inform the
patient that you are going to use topical anesthesia
before the injection in order to reduce the pain (Martin
etal.1994).
3) Anesthetic solutions containing disinfectant can also
help to disinfect the surface of the mucosa (Winther
and Khan 1971). Topical anesthetics (lidocaine, tetracaine, cocaine, EMLA), in addition to their anesthetic properties, also possess antimicrobial effects
(Mullin and Rubinfeld1997; Aldous etal.1998; Aydin
et al. 2001; Berg et al. 2006; Gocmen et al. 2008;
Reynolds etal.2016), but the rate of onset of antimicrobial activity as well as whether the activity is
bactericidal or bacteriostatic is still unknown
(Kaewjiaranai etal.2018).

Topical Anesthetics inDentistry
Below, we set out the topical anesthetics that are currently
used in dentistry. However, it is clear that the most widely
used are benzocaine 20% and lidocaine 5%, both of which
can be applied in ointment or gel.
Benzocaine
Benzocaine, or ethyl aminobenzoate, is an ester- type
anesthetic that was synthesized by Eduard Ritser
(1859–1946) in 1890 and initially called Anesthesin (Neue
Arzneimittel und pharmaceutische Spezialitäten1902). It
has been used exclusively as a topical anesthetic since
1903 (Sveen et al. 1982). Since benzocaine lacks the
hydrophilic cationic amino terminus (Ritchie and
Ritchie1968; de Jong1977), it is practically free of any
charge, and is only a neutral free base (pKa 3.2) at physiological pH. It is therefore not water soluble (Adriani and
Campbell 1956; Anonymous 1964; Takman 1975; de
Jong1977) and its action is pH- independent (Ritchie and
Ritchie1968) and very fast. As very little is absorbed, benzocaine scarcely causes toxic systemic reactions (it is considered to be very safe) (Adriani and Campbell1956) and
cannot be injected because it is very irritant and is only
used as a topical anesthetic. Table 12.2 summarizes its
main characteristics.
Maximum Dose
While no official dose has been established by the United
States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)
(Beutlich1991; American Dental Association2003), some
researchers, based on cases of toxic methemoglobinemia,
have estimated that it is not recommended to exceed
mg/kg (Potter and Hillman 1979; Rodriguez
15–25
et al. 1994). This criterion is followed by a number of
authors (Klein et al. 1983; Severinghaus et al. 1991;
Wilburnabsolute maximum dose in a 70- kg adult could be set at
1050 mg (15 mg/kg), which, at 20%, represents 5.5 ml of gel
or ointment. Figure12.1 shows different doses in gel for
use in dentistry.
Advantages andDisadvantages
The main advantages of benzocaine are that its action is
very quick, 20–30
oral mucosa better than EMLA cream, and its taste is
more agreeable than that of EMLA (Tulga and
Mutlu 1999; Primosch and Rolland Al- Melh etal. 2005). In addition, it is almost not absorbed
because it is not water- soluble (see above), therefore it is
considered safe.

Main pharmacological factors, physicochemical properties, clinical factors, and clinical efficacy.
Benzocaine has a pKa=3.2 because it lacks the hydrophilic N- terminus, therefore it is not absorbed (safer than topical anesthetic). It is very
irritating when injected. In addition, pharmacokinetic data (clearance, volume of distribution, and plasma half- life) are lacking. Similarly, it
does not bind to plasma proteins.
Its main disadvantages are the short duration of the
anesthetic effect (5 minutes) and its low potency, although
it is better than placebo (Annex 19).
Specific Adverse Effects
There are two specific adverse effects: sensitization and allergic reactions, which can appear in 3–6% of cases owing to
continued exposure (Martindale 1982) and which occur as
cross- reactions with sulfonamide allergy (Anonymous1964).
Benzocaine can also lead to toxic methemoglobinemia
when administered at doses greater than the recommended
dose, especially in children aged under 1 year owing to the
immaturity of their enzyme system (Anonymous 1964;
Rodriguez et al. 1994) (see Chapter 23). In a few

susceptible individuals, there is no “therapeutic window”
between the doses required to produce a therapeutic effect
and that producing toxic methemoglobinemia (Guay2009).
Benzocaine is contraindicated in patients with history of
methemoglobinemia and should not be used in children
younger than 2
years old (American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry2020).
Lidocaine
Lidocaine is an amide- type anesthetic that can be injected and
applied topically. It is one of the most commonly used anesthetics throughout the world in both of its formulations. Its
main pharmacological factors, physicochemical properties,
and clinical factors were discussed in Chapter7 (Table7.2).
In this section, we examine the gel, ointment, and paste
5% formulations because the liquid and aerosol formulations are very poor (see Annex 19).
Maximum Dose
The absolute maximum dose for a ≥70- kg adult has been
set at 250
Association2003) (3.6
is equivalent to 5
mg (Adriani et al. 1964; American Dental
mg/kg), which in gel or ointment 5%
ml. The maximum dose for topical anesthetic is lower than the maximum dose for injectable solution (300
mg) (Table7.2, Chapter7).
Advantages andDisadvantages
The main advantages are that onset is rapid, the drug is
inexpensive, and its action lasts longer than that of benzocaine (12 minutes) (Annex 20) (Table12.3).
Specific Adverse Effects
The main adverse effect is that of toxicity due to overdosing, therefore the recommended maximum dose should
not be exceeded. In addition, some formulations of lidocaine contain methylparaben as a preservative, which can
cause allergic sensitization (see Chapters7 and23).
Lidocaine Adhesive Patches (DentiPatch®)
These patches measure 8 × 26 × 2 or 10 × 20 × 2 mm in a bioadhesive matrix that is stuck directly onto the oral mucosa
(Houpt et al. 1997; Kreider et al.2001; Carr and Horton
2001b; Stecker etal. 2002). The patches contain lidocaine
20%, which is equivalent to 46 mg per patch (Stecker
etal.2002). This method enables the anesthetic to spread in
the mucosa without becoming diluted in the mouth or dispersing in the saliva owing to the fact that it is confined to
the mouth. Consequently, the patch has an advantage over
gels, ointments, creams, liquid solutions, and aerosols.
The patch formulation was approved by the US FDA in
1996 (Hersh et al. 1996; Houpt et al. 1997), although the
first study with adhesive strips appeared in 1968 (Giddon
etal.1968).

Advantages andDisadvantages
Lidocaine adhesive strips have several advantages. They prevent spread of the anesthetic in the mouth, as they are confined (Howitt and Lowell1972; Hersh etal.1996), therefore
the anesthetic does not spread and anesthetize the tongue or
pharynx (Nakamura et al.2013). The dose administered is
well controlled and the anesthetized area is easily seen
(Howitt and Lowell1972). In addition, as the patch has a
relatively potent effect (Table12.4), the dental hygienist can
use it for dental procedures such as scaling and root planing

(Carr and Horton2001b) or to fit the clamps for rubber dams
(Stecker etal.2002) and the dentist can take small superficial
biopsy specimens (Roller and Ship1975).
The disadvantages are that onset of action is slow, 2–5
minutes, and it is four times more expensive than benzocaine
(Stecker etal.2002). Occasionally, adhesion fails owing to a
fault in the system (Stecker etal.2002), insufficient depth of
the buccal area, and excessively viscous saliva (Taware
etal.1997). Of note, it has not been declared safe in patients

years (American Dental Association2003).
Specific adverse effects include mild irritation of the
mucosa the patch adheres to in 10–20% of cases owing to
the long periods of time it remains in the same place (Brook
et al. 1989; Hersh et al. 1996; Houpt et al. 1997), its
unpleasant – generally bitter – taste (Brook et al.1989;
Houpt et al.1997; Taware etal.1997), and the fact that it
sometimes increases salivation and the sensation of retching or nausea (Stern and Giddon1975).
EMLA Cream
EMLA (Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetic). Eutexia is a
physical phenomenon by which the mixture of two correctly dosed substances has a lower melting point than
either of the two separately or mixed at any other proportion. In this case, the two substances are the anesthetics
lidocaine and prilocaine.
The mixture was first proven to be effective on the skin in
1980 (Juhlin etal.1980). In 1981, the patent was registered
in Europe (Broberg and Evers1981). The FDA authorized
the drug in the United States in 1993 (Primosch and
Rolland-
Assensi 2001). Currently, the manufacturer
(Astra) and the FDA do not recommend application of
EMLA on the oral mucosa (Oraqix®, an oral variant is recommended [see below]), restricting it to the skin, since the
safe doses remain unknown (Primosch and RollandAssensi 2001; Lim and Julliard 2004; Al- Melh and
Anderson 2007; Franz- Montan et al. 2008). However,
EMLA cream has been used in dentistry in clinical trials,
from which we provide data.
Advantages of the Structure and Composition of EMLA
The oil–water emulsion of lidocaine normally forms drops
with an anesthetic concentration of 20% (Reiz and
Reiz1982). In addition, lidocaine and prilocaine have melting points of 96 and 37 °C, respectively (Vickers and
Punnia- Moorthy 1993; Munshi et al. 2001). When lidocaine and prilocaine are mixed 1:1 in an oil–water emulsion with ester ethoxylate surfactant of neutralized fatty
acids such as Carboner 934P, the resulting emulsion does
not contain lipophilic solvent (Nyqvist- Mayer etal.1986),
and a cream is obtained with the following characteristics:
1) Emulsion drops with a high concentration of anesthetic
(80%) (Juhlin et al. 1980; Reiz and Reiz 1982) and a
lower size (1
μ) (Nyqvist- Mayer etal. 1986).
2) The melting point of both anesthetics falls to 18 °C
(Brodin et al. 1984), that is lower than for each separately. The mixture behaves as a pure solid (eutectic),
thus enabling it to be absorbed at body temperature.
3) The high water concentration facilitates penetration via
the skin and mucosa.
In theory, the above- mentioned factors make it possible
to create a more powerful anesthetic compound than each
separately at the same concentration. The complete composition of EMLA is set out in Table12.5.
Maximum Dose
There is no established maximum dose, although the results
from a clinical trial showed that it was possible to administer
8000 mg of EMLA 5% cream (400 mg of local anesthetic:
200
mg of lidocaine and 200 mg of prilocaine) with no risk of
toxicity, since it generated peak levels that were far from
toxic (Vickers et al. 1997) (Table12.1). In addition, Oraqix
(variant of EMLA cream [see below]) has an established
maximum dose of 8500 mg (Herdevall etal.2003).
In conclusion, we can propose an absolute maximum
dose for a ≥70- kg adult of 8000 mg (115 mg/kg), which is
equivalent to 5.7
caine and 2.85

The main advantage is that it makes it possible to achieve a

and root planing or measuring periodontal pocket depth

arch bars (Pere et al.1992). In addition, the dentist can
remove small fibromas from the palate (Meechan2001).
Table12.6 shows data on their clinical efficacy.
The disadvantages include the slow onset of action
minutes, mean 3 minutes), the fact that it is more
(2–5
expensive than benzocaine (Meechan and Donaldson
1994), and the low viscosity of EMLA cream (Meechan and
Donaldson 1994; Donaldson and Meechan1995; Tulga and
Mutlu1999; Primosch and Rolland- Assensi2001), which
reduces its power of absorption through dispersion in the
mouth and dilution in saliva, and means that a large
amount of cream remains on the cotton swab or roll (Holst
and Evers 1985; Lim and Julliard2004). EMLA cream is
not recommended in children owing to the lack of data or
for application in the oral cavity in adults. However, we do
have an equivalent for oral use, namely, Oraqix (see below).
Specific Adverse Effects
A burning sensation occurs in the oral mucosa after long
applications (30–40
minutes) (Vickers and PunniaMoorthy1993; Franz- Montan etal.2008) owing to the high
pH (9.6) (Vickers and Punnia-
Moorthy 1993) and, very
rarely, ulcers on the superficial mucosa for the same reason
(Franz-
Montan etal.2008). Patients also complain of the
bitter taste (Svensson and Petersen 1992; Meechan and
Donaldson 1994; Tulga and Mutlu 1999; Primosch and
Rolland-
Assensi2001). Prilocaine can induce toxic methemoglobinemia in children aged under 6 years (Frayling
etal.1990). This is also the case for children aged under
1 year (Engberg etal.1987), whose enzymes are not sufficiently mature to metabolize high doses of EMLA (see
Chapter23).
Tetracaine (Amethocaine)
Tetracaine is an ester- type anesthetic that was first synthesized in 1928 by the German chemist Otto Eisleb
(1887–1948) in IG Farben (Hoechst). It was patented in the
United States in 1932 (Eisleb 1932) and marketed under
the name of Pantocaine (Eisleb1934).
Tetracaine is known as Amethocaine in the British pharmacopeia. As it has a pKa of 8.5, onset of action can sometimes be delayed. In addition, as with lidocaine, it is one of
the few local anesthetics that is achiral, that it, it does not
have optic isomers (Calvey1995). The main characteristics
of tetracaine are summarized in Table12.7.
Maximum Dose
Tetracaine is an old topical anesthetic, which, when applied
to the mucosa, is absorbed rapidly owing to its potent vasodilator effect. The resulting anesthesia is deeper and more
potent, although there is also a greater risk of the drug
passing to the bloodstream (Bonica 1950; Adriani and
Campbell1956). Given that the maximum dose as a topical
anesthetic has been set at 20
mg (Carabelli1952; American
Dental Association2003), the absolute maximum dose in a
≥70-
kg adult is 20 mg (0.3 mg/kg), which is equivalent to
mg (= 2 ml) in 1% creams.
2000
When tetracaine is applied as an aerosol, it is easy to lose
control of the dose administered, therefore it is recommended not to apply the drug for more than 1–2
seconds to
avoid administering a toxic dose or, preferably, the drug
should be administered using a fixed- dose applicator so as
not to exceed the maximum dose.
Advantages andDisadvantages
The main advantage of tetracaine is that it is a potent topical anesthetic, as seen in its clinical effect in 1% formulations, which lasts 50 minutes (Table 12.7). Its main
disadvantage is the ease with which it produces toxic reactions when absorbed after application on the mucosa and
the dose is greater than de 20
mg (Weisel and Tella1951;
Carabelli1952).
Specific Adverse Effects
Key adverse effects include allergic and hypersensitivity
reactions caused by the fact that tetracaine is an ester
anesthetic. The other main problem is toxic reactions
resulting from overdose when the drug is applied to the
mucosa (it is barely absorbed by intact skin; Mazumdar
et al. 1991). Tetracaine is a topical anesthetic that not
only anesthetizes the surface but also reaches a certain
depth. Consequently, its potent vasodilator effect passes
to the systemic circulation in such a way that it is the
only anesthetic that can reach higher levels in blood after
topical application on the mucosa than after parenteral
injection (Adriani and Campbell1956). In the 1940s and
1950s, tetracaine was the anesthetic that caused the highest number of toxic reactions when the doses administered were greater than 30–40 mg (Weisel and Tella1951;
Carabelli 1952; Adriani and Campbell 1956) (see
Chapter23).
