+ Information:

Despite correct technique and appropriate dosing, achieving consistent and profound local anesthesia remains one of the most unpredictable aspects of clinical dentistry. Led by Daniel Uzbelger Feldman, this comprehensive clinical course transforms uncertainty into predictability through a deep understanding of pain science, neuroanatomy, and evidence-based injection protocols for the maxilla and mandible.

Learning Objectives

• Apply evidence-based maxillary nerve anesthesia protocols.

• Execute predictable inferior alveolar nerve block protocols.

• Implement painless injection strategies for single and multiple teeth.

• Master the Intraoral Cervical Plexus Anesthetic Technique (ICPAT).

• Utilize clinical strategies to eliminate the need for supplemental injections.

Target Audience

This course is designed for dental practitioners who face the clinical challenge of failed anesthesia and seek to achieve profound, consistent pain control using advanced neuroanatomical techniques.

Best for General Dentists, Endodontists, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and Periodontists.

Topics

Lesson 1. Foundations of Dental Anesthesia and Pain Perception

• Foundations of dental anesthesia

• Evolution of dental structures and C- and A-delta fibers

• Evolution and history of dental anesthesia

• Overview of local anesthetic types and formulations

Lesson 2. Mechanisms of action and Limitations of Dental Anesthesia

• Mechanisms of action: sodium channel blockade, nerve fibers, and conduction physiology

• What pharmacology cannot explain

• Pain science: perception, modulation, body language, and myths

• Setting the stage: why dentistry presents unique challenges compared to medicine

Lesson 3. Maxillary Anesthesia: Anatomy, Variability, and Painless Clinical Protocols
