The article presents a study of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), particularly neurosensory disturbance (NSD), associated with the use of local anesthetics in dentistry. Data sets of 1995-2007 annual sales of local anesthetics, of adverse local anesthetic reactions, and clinical sample of 115 NSD patients were reviewed. Results showed a highly substantial overrepresentation of NSDs linked with articaine 4% with mandibular blocks.
