Abstract
Lidocaine with epinephrine is currently the most common local anesthetic agent used for impacted third molar surgery. The purpose of the present study was to define the adverse hemodynamic effects and plasma concentrations of lidocaine and epinephrine on 17 healthy patients during the impacted teeth operations. Arterial blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation range, and electrocardiography were measured by an automatic noninvasive pressure device and monitor. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to measure the changes of plasma concentrations of epinephrine and lidocaine from blood samples taken 5 different times during the operation. We concluded that lidocaine-epinephrine is effective local anesthetic and had no important adverse events in healthy patients during the third molar surgery.
