Analgesic balms are agents that give soothing palliative relief of in-flammatory pain of superficial deep categories when applied locally to exposed tissue. Aloe Vera juice is an ancient remedy for superficial pain; balsam of pura; eugenol and guaiacol are other well-known balms. These are useful in controlling of pain from exposed/ulcerated cuteness and mucogingival tissue, exposed dentin and acute alveolitis.
Injectable local anesthetic (LA)
Variety of LA is available in different concentration with or without vasoconstrictor. Long acting LA such as bupivacine HCl, (marecine) are useful, even though they have higher risk of toxicity proper dosage, technique adequate precaution readiness of emergency are essential for safety and effectiveness of all LA. Extreme causation is required when vasopressor agents are used in patients receiving MAO inhibitor or anti-depressant of triptyline type because severe prolonged hypertension may result therefore most unwanted reaction with LA is critical intravenous injection. Injection of 0.02% morphine sulphate around peripheral nerve has been repeated to yield LA that is equal to bupivacaine in onset and duration small dose of one mg. or less of morphine does not produce sys-temic effect.
