ABSTRACT

Local anesthetics are widely used in clinical dentistry. However, while rare, there have been some reports of true hypersensitivity to local anesthetics. A case of hypersensitivity in a 26-month-old boy is reported. After administering local anesthesia with lidocaine, treatment was performed while the patient was under oral sedation. After treatment, the patient presented with lower lip edema. Treatment with anti-histamines and a steroid successfully reversed his symptoms.
