Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Anesthesia in Dentistry: With Special Reference to the Mucous and Conductive Methods, a Concise Guide for Dentists, Surgeons and Students While efforts toward the abolition or reduction of pain are inseparably interwoven with the history of the human race, it was not until the introduction of general anesthesia with nitrous oxid by Wells in 1844, with ether by Morton in 1846, and with chloroform by Simpson in 1847, that "the beautiful dream of the elimination of pain became a reality," to use Dieffenbach's words. Local anesthesia, although prior to 1884 it had been induced by freezing, as by salt and ice, ether, and ethyl chlorid, did not attain general popularity before that year, when Roller demonstrated the anesthetic properties of cocain. Since then the advance of surgical anesthesia, both general and local, toward perfection has reached a remarkable point of development, for the attainment of which humanity owes to dentistry no less a debt of gratitude than it does to medicine. In operative interventions in the oral cavity, which, while involving but a limited area, are so extremely painful, local anesthesia seemed from the beginning to be specially indicated; in fact, so welcome has been the elimination of pain in dentistry that the limits necessarily attaching to this beneficent aim have at times been overstepped, and progress has been jeoparded, and legitimate and conscientious effort discredited by the exploits in "painless dentistry" of unethical practitioners. The ethical dentist should, therefore, gladly avail himself of a guide which, issuing from the pen of a recognized authority, will aid him in adopting a safe and scientific method of inducing local anesthesia, in raising the standard of his operative work, in sparing pain to his patients, and conserving his own nervous energy.
