Abstract
Permanent paresthesia following a local anesthetic injection is a possible adverse event. Epidemiological studies have suggested that the 4% solutions used in dentistry, namely prilocaine and articaine, are more highly associated with this occurrence. This article reviews the epidemiological evidence regarding articaine and paresthesia.Entities:
