A bstract — Changes in methods of operating, in the use of effective methods of sedation, and extension in life expectancy have necessitated revision in local anaesthetic techniques. Modern anaesthetic agents and vaso‐constrictors are evaluated, dosage and methods of injection described. A careful evaluation of the patient together with the recording of an appropriate history is emphasized.
