The target of this book is the undergraduate dental students to give them the basic concept and outline of the principle of local anesthesia and exodontia in brief short notes form that is easy to understand, remember and to implement clinically.
The local anesthesia and exodontia is the fundamental part of Oral Surgey that should be known well by all dentists, since it is one of the daily surgical procedures in dentistry.
This book is suitable as well for the oral & maxillofacial surgery trainees who are looking for a concise rapid revision of management of simple, complex dental extraction and management of medically compromised patients.
I dedicate this book to my students everywhere, my parent and family. I would like to express sincere thanks to my wife for continuous support, encouraging and help.
