Local anesthetics are widely used in daily clinical practice in different dental procedures, so it is essential to
know the most relevant pharmacological aspects of local anesthetics in order to optimize them, improve patient
experience, and minimize complications related to their use. Articaine is an amide anesthetic of intermediate
duration, short acting, and fast metabolism due to an ester group in its structure. In addition, it is effective with
local infiltration or nerve block procedures in dentistry. For the latter and due to Articaine’s great popularity in
the dental field, the following literature review is presented.
