Course Objective

The primary aim of this course is to enable dental students to acquire comprehensive knowledge regarding the historical development of anesthesia, its fundamental pharmacological and anatomical principles, local anesthesia techniques, and potential complications. Furthermore, the course is designed to equip students with the ability to perform safe and effective anesthesia procedures within clinical practice and to competently manage emergency situations. By fostering the integration of theoretical knowledge with clinical application, the course ultimately seeks to strengthen students professional competence and preparedness for dental practice.
