FailureofDentalLocalAnesthesia
Despite scientific advances, there is, unfortunately, no infallible technique for ensuring local anesthesia in den­tistry, and failures generally reflect specific situations such as anatomical variations, pathological abnormalities (e.g. local inflammation), considerable patient anxiety, and fail­ures associated with the dentist. In this chapter, we address the area of failure of dental anesthesia and its causes and examine the means at our disposal to overcome it.
Frequency
It is difficult to quantify how often dental local anesthesia fails because pulpal anesthesia, the most difficult type of anesthesia to achieve, is hampered by various factors.
1) Type of stimulus. The pain stimulus differs depending on
whether the procedure is obturation (especially if it is not very deep), extraction, incision of soft tissue, or an endo­dontic procedure in a vital tooth. It is much easier to anesthetize the soft tissues or alveolar process than the dental pulp (Phillips1943). We believe that the electric pulp meter is the most reliable experimental stimulus for evaluating the efficacy of local pulpal anesthesia since it reaches deep levels and its findings are reproducible. Therefore, in this book, we have selected studies whose results are based on the application of this approach.
2) Type of local anesthetic solution. Different outcomes
are achieved by varying the concentration of anesthetic and/or vasoconstrictor, as well as by using different local anesthetics or vasoconstrictors. This is particularly important in infiltrative techniques (Annex 21), although generally of little relevance in mandibular block (Annex 24). Therefore, we have selected the two most widely used solutions today: the one we have referred to throughout the book as the standard solution, i.e. lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) (L- 100) or 1:80 000 (12.5 μg/ml) (L- 80), and a potent
solution, i.e. articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:100 000 (10
μg/ml) (A- 100).
3) The amount of solution administered (in milliliters
[ml]). We selected the standard quantities on which current clinical evaluations are based (generally slightly higher than recommended in textbooks) and which are those used in daily clinical practice.
4) Area of the mouth. The results are very different for the
maxillary and the mandibular arches and are very differ­ent for the anterior teeth (canines and incisors) and pos­terior teeth (molars and premolars). Therefore, we have drawn a distinction between these four areas and have taken the lateral incisor and first molar as a reference.
Table19.1 summarizes the percentage of failures in healthy teeth that respond to an electric stimulus despite being anes­thetized. A study from 2002in patients receiving dental treat­ment over 5years found that treatment was painful in more than 40%. In addition, the pain was moderate or intense in more than half (20% of the total) (Maggirias and Locker2002). Consequently, dental local anesthesia could be improved.
ConsequencesofFailure
Failure of dental locoregional anesthesia is important for various reasons:
1) Dental treatment cannot be administered.
2) Patients lose trust not only in their dentist, but also in
modern dental techniques for controlling pain (Kaufman etal.1984).
3) Failure is especially important in children because trau-
matic experiences (e.g. pain during dental procedures resulting from insufficient anesthesia) generate psycho­logical effects, i.e. patients become very fearful of dental treatment and may develop phobias during adulthood (Molin and Seeman 1970; Kleinknecht et al. 1973; Cohen etal.1993; Berggren and Meynert1984).

Failures:GeneralCauses
Many failures are associated with patient- specific situations.
HighlyAnxiousPatients
As we saw in Chapter8, around 10% of patients are highly anxious and fear dental treatment. Anxiety reduces the pain threshold and increases the possibility that nonpain­ful stimuli are interpreted as being painful (Pinkham and Schroeder 1975; Wepman 1978; Woolgrove 1983; Sokol et al. 1985; Van Wijk and Makkes 2008). It is therefore important to bear in mind that local anesthetics are very effective for anesthetizing painful stimuli but are much less effective with sensations of temperature and pressure. In addition, they are poorly effective with the nerve fibers that transmit proprioceptive stimuli (de Jong 1977; Wildsmith1986). In such patients, it is necessary to follow various steps:
1) Inform the patient that he/she should distinguish
between “painful” stimuli, which can be easily anesthe­tized, and sensations of touch, pressure, and tempera­ture, which are more difficult to anesthetize. Thus, we
can help the patient to interpret these sensations in two ways:
Extraorally: The dentist can take the patient’s hand by the wrist
in his/her own hand, move it from side to side, and ask the patient if he/she notices this and if it hurts. The patient will reply that he/she does notice it but that it does not hurt.
The dentist presses the patient’s hand with his/
her own and asks if the patient notices pressure and if this is painful. The patient will reply that he/she does notice the pressure but that it is not painful.
The dentist asks the patient if his/her hand is cold
or warm. The patient replies that it is warm.
Finally, the dentist points out to the patient that he/
she felt the movement of the hand, the pressure, and the temperature, but no pain. The same will be true of the mouth, that is, the patient will notice sensations (movement, pressure, temperature) but not pain.
Intraorally. The word “pain” is now taboo, and the
euphemism “discomfort” is used instead.
The dentist shows the patient his/her right hand
with the fist closed and the index finger extended and says, “Look at my finger.”

The dentist then inserts the finger into the patient’s
mouth and presses on the injection site and says “Here is where I’ll place the anesthesia. Can you feel where I’m touching you? The patient will reply that he/she does notice it. Observe that the dentist says “place” the anesthesia and not “inject,” which is taboo.
The dentist says that when the anesthetic is placed
in this area, the patient will notice it or perhaps will feel some “discomfort” (euphemism for pain, now a taboo word).
2) The dentist must exercise great care when administer-
ing local anesthetic to minimize the pain of the injec­tion (see sections “Insertion of the Needle” and “Injection”, Chapter13). In addition, it is advisable to administer a larger quantity of anesthetic.
3) If necessary, the patient should receive an anxiolytic or
sedative drug, although therapy of this type is beyond the scope of this book.
4) If the patient continues to feel pain for any reason dur-
ing treatment, supplementary techniques can be applied to address failure (see Chapter18).
However, if the level of anxiety is very high or the patient is phobic (irrational and uncontrolled fear), then he/she must be treated by a psychologist or psychiatrist. Such patients may require psychiatric drugs or general anesthe­sia, both of which approaches are beyond the scope of this book.
PatientswithDrugAddictionandAlcoholism
Patients who are addicted to alcohol or other drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or tranquilizers have a very low tolerance of stress (nervousness) and pain because of psychological and physiological abnormalities affecting the central nerv­ous system (Scheutz 1982; Chemical 1987; Stewart and Finn1995; Fiset et al. 1997; Lindroth etal. 2003). These patients require greater amounts of anesthesia, and anes­thesia fails twice as often as in patients who do not have addictions (Scheutz 1982; Chemical 1987; Stewart and Finn1995). In addition, they are often difficult to manage and require both medical and psychological treatment.
This group of patients should be treated in the same way as highly anxious patients (see above).
TeethAffectedbyIrreversibleAcutePulpitis
The pulp of teeth affected by acute pulpitis (symptomatic irreversible pulpitis) is both inflamed and hypersensitive (called a “hot tooth”). The frequency of failure of local anes­thetic is higher, i.e. double or triple that of patients without

pulpitis (Table19.2), given that the tooth is more difficult to anesthetize. In Table19.2, failure in healthy molars is evalu­ated based on an electric pulp meter; however, in molars affected by irreversible acute pulpitis, failure is evaluated in endodontic procedures when the pulp chamber is opened and during cleaning because negative electrical stimulation is no guarantee of a painless endodontic procedure in these cases (Dreven etal. 1987; Reisman et al.1997; Nusstein etal.1998; Tortamano et al.2009). It is also important to highlight that the more severe the symptoms are in teeth with pulpitis (more pain), the greater the percentage of fail­ures will be (Aggarwal etal.2015).
ReasonsforFailureofAnesthesiainAcutePulpitis
1) Structural abnormalities affecting peripheral nerves.
These nerves are affected by inflammation (Kimberly and Byers1988; Byers etal.1990; Taylor and Byers1990; Sorensen etal.2004), and their thresholds of excitability and of electrolyte exchange in the membrane are altered, thus rendering the membrane hyperexcitable (Brown1981; Rood and Pateromichelakis1981). These neurodegenerative changes affect not only the axonal membrane exposed to inflammation, but also the whole nerve pathway, therefore truncal block at some distance from the inflammation also fails (Najjar1977; Wallace etal.1985; Luo etal.2008).
2) Local factors:
Tissue pH in inflamed or purulent areas is lower and
may reach 5–6.6 (Schade et al. 1921; de Jong and Cullen1963) instead of the 7.4 observed in healthy

tissue, therefore the acid environment leaves very lit­tle free base for the anesthetic to penetrate the cell membrane (Bieter 1936; de Jong 1977; Walton and Torabinejad1992; Wong and Jacobsen1992).
Increase of inflammatory mediators (such as prosta-
glandins, calcitonin gene-
related peptide, substance P, neurokinin A, neuropeptide Y, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide) that sensitize the sodium channels of the free nerve endings by facilitating depolarization with less intense stimuli (hyperalgesia), therefore local anesthetics are less efficacious for blocking them (Bowles etal. 2003; Lai et al. 2004; Caviedes­Bucheli etal.2006).
Modifications in the sodium channels of the dental
pulp lead to a threefold multiplication of the subtype or isoform Na

anesthetic solution at the affected site as a result of it entering the systemic circulation (Kramer and Mitton1973; Meechan1999).
Approach
1) Administer a nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drug
(NSAID) 45–60 most widely used NSAID is ibuprofen at 400–800
minutes before local anesthesia. The
mg, although any NSAID can be used (Annex 35; Modaresi et al. 2006). When NSAIDs cannot be used (e.g. in patients with gastrointestinal ulcer, pregnant women, patients taking oral anticoagulants, aspirin- sensitive asthmatics), acetaminophen can be administered at 1000 mg, although the outcome is somewhat more mod­est (Annex 35; Modaresi etal.2006). In addition, two meta-
analyses have shown that NSAIDs taken 1 hour before the procedure improve anesthesia in mandibular block. This finding was statistically significant (Li etal.2012; Shirvani etal.2017).
2) Administration of local anesthesia (Annex 35).
Use potent solutions such as articaine 4% with epi-
nephrine 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) (A- 100) instead of the standard solution of lidocaine (Annex 35). Three meta- analyses have demonstrated the superi­ority of A- 100 over the standard lidocaine solution (L- 100 or L- 80) in patients with irreversible acute pulpitis (Kung et al. 2015; Su et al. 2016; de Geus etal.2020).
In maxillary teeth: Anterior teeth. Buccal infiltration with 1.8 ml of
A- 100 complemented by a small amount
administered via the area of the palate. Wait a little longer, 5–10 minutes.
Posterior teeth. Buccal infiltration with more than
1.8
ml of A- 100 (75% success rate [Annex 35]) and
complement with 0.3–0.4
ml via the palate to enhance anesthesia of the palatal roots (Ulusoy and Alacam2014; Askari etal.2016).
In mandibular teeth: Anterior teeth. Double infiltration (buccal and lin-
gual) of 1.8–3.6
ml of A- 100. Wait 5–10 minutes for
the anesthetic to take effect.
Posterior teeth. Mandibular block with1.8 ml of
A-
100. Wait 5minutes to ensure that the lower lip is anesthetized. At this point, inject a further 1.8 of A-
100 as mandibular block (two cartridges,
3.6
ml, have now been injected) and use comple­mentary anesthesia in the buccal region with a further 1.8 ml of A- 100 (three cartridges have now been injected). Wait 5–10
minutes in total). It is important to take two
(10–15
minutes longer
aspects into account:
If the second mandibular block is performed
using the Gow-
Gates technique instead of the conventional technique used for the first block, it increases efficacy and the number of teeth anesthetized (Saatchi etal.2018).
It is interesting to observe that mandibular block
is more painful in these cases (McCartney etal. 2007; Fan et al.2009; Kreimer etal.2012; Annex 23), therefore the technique should be performed meticulously.
3) Anesthesia with supplementary techniques. If the
above approach is insufficient and the anesthetic fails to take effect.
Failure of mandibular block affects the dentine in 30% of cases (pain is felt when the burr reaches the den­tine), therefore it is too early to apply the intrapulpal technique and it is necessary to turn to other supple­mentary techniques (Annex 35).
We can turn to the periodontal ligament technique (PDL) and the intraosseous technique (IO), again using
100, which we have used so far (it is important to
A­remember not to mix two local anesthetics at the same point of action, Chapter5). The initial success with the first injection is greater with the IO technique than with the PDL (85% vs. 65%), although the cumulative effect after the second injection (if the first fails) is very simi­lar (almost 100%) (Annex 35). However, the supplemen­tary technique may sometimes have to be repeated as many as three times (Nusstein etal.1998). The PDL has the advantage that if a rubber dam is in place, it is not necessary to remove it for administration (Walton and

Abbott 1981; Khedari 1982); the advantage of the IO technique is that is has fewer adverse effects (Chapter18).
In patients with irreversible acute pulpitis, supple­mentary techniques can be painful because of the high sensitivity of the teeth, even if all the tissue is anesthe­tized (Nusstein etal.2003).
It is also noteworthy that other methods are cur­rently being sought, such as inhalation of nitrous oxide, for which data seem promising (Fullmer et al. 2014; Chompu-
Finally, remember that endodontic procedures are con­sidered to be successful when the anesthetized teeth do not hurt or only do so minimally, so that the procedure can be performed with the drill able to penetrate the enamel and dentine and reach the pulp chamber (Annex
35). These teeth may subsequently require intrapulpal anesthesia.
inwai etal.2018).
ResistancetoLocalAnesthetics
Cases of resistance to the action of various local anesthet­ics have been reported. In both medical practice (Miller etal.1981; Kavlock and Ting2004) and in dental practice (Beckett and Gilmour 1990), resistance takes the form of short duration of effect or insufficient effect. In dental practice (Beckett and Gilmour1990) this cannot be attrib­uted to the traditional causes of failure addressed in this chapter, but rather to genetic abnormalities that lead to structural abnormalities in some of the isoforms of the sodium channels (Panigel and Cook 2011; Clendenen et al. 2016). The frequency of resistance is unknown, although it must be low, and in some cases it has been overcome using local anesthetics in which the concentra­tion of the anesthetic component is high (Beckett and Gilmour1990).
CausesofMaxillaryFailure
1) Excessive thickening of the maxillary bone cortex. This
mainly affects the superior central incisors via the ante­rior nasal spine (Figure 19.1) if this is very wide and covers the apices. However, such a situation is highly unlikely (Jastak et al.1995). This situation may also arise in the first molars owing to thickening of the zygo­matic crest (Evers and Haegerstam1981; Roberts and Sowray1987; Jastak et al.1995) or thickening of the outer bone plate, which is typical of patients with bruxism.
2) Excessive separation of the palatal roots of the molars,
premolars, and lateral incisor as they course toward the palate. In the posterior teeth, the distance separating the palatal roots and the buccal roots may be very great. In fact, the maxillary sinus may even lie between the palatal and the buccal roots (Figure19.2), thus hamper­ing diffusion of the anesthetic solution toward the pala­tal root (Evers and Haegerstam 1981; Haglund and Evers1985). Very rarely, the root of the lateral incisor may be inclined toward the palate.
3) Accessory innervation via the nasopalatine nerve to the
pulp of the incisors and, occasionally, the canines. This branch of the nasopalatine root was proposed initially by Otto Hofer from Vienna (Hofer1922) and supported, albeit without demonstration, by various authors (Phillips and Maxmen 1941; Cook 1949). In 1943, the Department of Anatomy of the University of Wayne reported having found this branch in dissections (Phillips1943), although other studies based on dissec­tion did not (Olsen etal.1955), therefore these contra­dictory results created an atmosphere of distrust (FitzGerald and Scott 1958; Westwater 1960; Sicher1950). More recently, it was suggested that fibers
OtherCausesofFailure
Other proposed causes of failure include hematoma in mandibular block that could dilute the anesthetic solution in the pterygomandibular space (Traeger1979), although this seems highly unlikely.
SpecificFailuresAfterMaxillary Infiltration
Failure of local anesthesia is less frequent after infiltration in maxillary teeth than after mandibular block. Below, we present the causes and the means to overcome them.

Children. Complementary anesthesia can also be
administered via the palate, but using L-
50 and trans­papillary injection, which is typical in children (Chapter15).
3) Supplementary techniques. If the two methods pro-
posed above fail after a further 5
minutes (complemen­tary anesthesia and complementary anesthesia administered via the palate), then the PDL and/or the IO technique is used.

of the superior dental plexus can join the nasopalatine nerve right at the nasal floor and reach the apices of the central incisors (Roda and Blanton1994).
4) Accessory innervations of the pulp via branches of the
greater palatine nerve of the palatal roots of the molars and premolars (Ulusoy and Alacam2014).
Approach
If pulpal anesthesia has not been achieved 5minutes after injection, the available options are as follows:
1) Complementary anesthesia:
Adults. If articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:100 000
(A-
100) was used, i.e. the first choice in adults, repeat
the injection with a greater quantity at the same sites.
Children. If the standard solution of lidocaine 2%
with epinephrine 1:100 000 (10 μg/ml) (L- 100) was used, i.e. the solution indicated for children, repeat the injection with a greater quantity at the same sites, but use lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:50 000 (20 μg/ ml) (L- 50), which contains double the amount of epi­nephrine, thus rendering its effect more potent. Note that the anesthetic is the same, since two different anesthetics should not be mixed at the same site.
2) Complementary palatal anesthesia.
Adults. Complementary anesthesia administered via
the palate in small amounts (±0.2–0.3 ml) of A- 100increases both the efficacy and the duration of pulpal anesthesia, especially in posterior teeth with palatal roots (Aggarwal etal.2011a,2011b; Guglielmo etal.2011; Ulusoy and Alacam2014).
In children, supplementary techniques such as the PDL or the IO technique can be used, although only in perma­nent teeth (not in temporary teeth, so as not to affect the buds of the underlying permanent teeth).
SpecificFailuresAfterMandibular Block
As we have seen, mandibular block is only used to achieve pulpal anesthesia in molars and premolars (posterior teeth), where the results are acceptable (Annex 25). Below, we present the reasons for failure and the means to address it.
ReasonsforFailureAfterMandibularBlock
FailureOwingtoInappropriateTechnique
This failure arises when soft tissue anesthesia of half of the ipsilateral lower lip is not achieved 5 minutes after injec­tion (Cohen et al. 1993; Hersh et al. 1995; Nusstein etal.1998). This is the most frequent cause and may arise in up to 10% of cases (Annex 28).
Logically, this failure is particularly common among dentistry students (Rood and Sowray1980) since the tech­nique is not easy to apply and requires the acquisition of appropriate skills. Failure may also arise among experi­enced professionals, although it has been demonstrated that the frequency of this type of failure decreases with experience and the number of years the dentist has been working (Keetley and Moles 2001). Nonetheless, cases of failure are reported.
FailureforAnatomicalReasons
Accessory Mandibular Foramina
foramina are found in the region of the condyle and the mandibular foramen (Barker 1972a; Haveman and Tebo1976). In some cases, accessory branches, which are smaller than the inferior alveolar nerve, may enter some foramina at higher levels and supply the inferior molars. These branches may not be affected by conventional mandibular block.

Very High Lingula A very high lingula means that the
inferior alveolar nerve does not come into contact with the solution because the anesthetic cannot be appropriately placed in the pterygomandibular space, as in conventional mandibular block (Coleman and Smith1982). The finding of a lingula greater than 11
mm occurs in 0.1% of cases (Kay1974) and in up to 5% of cases (Bremer1952). To avoid this, it is recommended that the level of needle contact with bone should be slightly superior to the lingula.
Double (Bifid) Mandibular Canal and/or Foramen Bifid
mandibular canal and/or foramen was initially described in isolated cases (Kiersch and Jordan1973; Patterson and Funke1973). Trifid canal/foramen is even rarer (Mizbah etal.2012). It is important to remember that this situation arises because the mandibular canal originates from the junction of three separate canals during embryonic development (Chavez-
Lomeli etal.1996). Such anatomical anomalies are thought to hamper the efficacy of conventional mandibular block (Kiersch and Jordan1973; Grover and Lorton1983; Neves et al.2013), especially in cases of bifid foramina (Nortjé et al. 1977; Langlais etal.1985; Bogdan etal.2006; Correr etal.2013). Modern tomography- based techniques have made it possible to identify these anomalies (mean length of 10–15 30% of mandibular canals (Annex 34).
Bifid mandibular canals are important because they can sometimes escape mandibular block (Grover and Lorton1983; Neves etal.2013).
Sphenomandibular Ligament Sometimes, deposition of
local anesthetic where it is separated from the inferior alveolar nerve by the sphenomandibular ligament (Figure 3.14, Chapter 3) or other fibrous tissue in the pterygomandibular space may impede diffusion (Barker and Davies 1972b; Garg and Townsend 2001; Shiozaki etal.2007; Khoury etal.2010,2011; Simonds et al. 2017). To avoid this, it is recommended that the level of needle contact with bone should be slightly superior to the lingula (Khoury etal.2010,2011).
FailureArisingfromAccessoryInnervation
Mylohyoid Nerve
The mylohyoid nerve is mainly a motor nerve that supplies the mylohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, therefore anesthesia of this nerve causes some discomfort when swallowing (Barker and Davies 1972b). The nerve emerges from the inferior alveolar nerve before entering the mandibular foramen. It was initially thought to emerge at a very low level, some 5 mm before entering the mandibular foramen (Jeffries1944; Barker and Davies1972b), therefore it was systematically anesthetized during mandibular block.
mm) in
Figure19.3 Variant of the mylohyoid nerve emerging at a high
level and penetrating a specific canal.
Thanks to meticulous dissection studies, we now know that it emerges much higher, at around 15 mm (5–23 mm) (Wilson et al. 1984; Bennett and Townsend 2001). Consequently, it is often not anesthetized (Figure 19.3); furthermore, it may be protected from the anesthetic solution by the interpterygoid fascia (i.e. it penetrates the fascia) or by the sphenomandibular ligament (Stein etal.2007).
In 1904, in Vienna, Schumacher proposed that the mylo­hyoid nerve could give off branches to the mandibular symphysis to supply the inferior incisors (Schumacher1904). Dissection studies have shown that up to 20% of its fibers are sensitive to pain and temperature, and supply the skin of the chin (Sicher1946; Frommer etal.1972; Roberts and Harris 1973). In 15–50% of cases, it may also supply the pulp of the mandibular teeth (Novitzky1938; Sicher1946; Carter and Keen 1971; Madeira et al. 1978; Wilson etal.1984). The pulpal branches penetrate the bone via the foramina along the mylohyoid groove of the internal aspect of the mandible, along which the nerve courses. Thus, we have the following (Figure19.4):
Branches for molars (Frommer etal.1972), which pene-
