Comparative StudyLocal anesthetic efficacy for oral surgery: Comparison of diphenhydramine and prilocaine.
Diphenhydramine has been suggested as an alternative local anesthetic agent for patients claiming allergy to local anesthetics. The present study attempted to determine the local anesthetic efficacy of diphenhydramine for oral surgery. ⋯ In the small group studied, diphenhydramine administration provided adequate anesthesia before oral surgery; it may be useful as an anesthetic alternative in patients with histories of allergy to local anesthetics.
