Abstract
Articaine is one of the most recent local anaesthetic drugs made available to dentists worldwide. Anecdotal reports advocate its superiority over other common local anaesthetic agents and controversy exists concerning its clinical safety. This article reviews the current literature on articaine use in dentistry specifically addressing the issues of efficacy and safety.
