Local Anesthetic-Induced Allergic Reactions in Dentistry: Current Perspectives and Key Considerations

Background: Local anesthetics (LAs) are frequently utilized in dentistry. Despite their generally well-tolerated nature, they can occasionally induce adverse reactions of varying types and severity. The actual prevalence of allergic reactions to these agents remains unknown. The review objectives were to evaluate the occurrence of immediate adverse events in individuals undergoing local anaesthetic injections for dental procedures, observe the frequency of anaphylactic allergic reactions among documented adverse events, and scrutinize the relationship between the atopic history of these patients and documented allergic reactions
