Fundamentals of technique
The importance of a quiet, confident, and friendly manner towards
all patients so physical comfort is also essential for the cooperation of the patient and the ease of operation of the dental
surgeon. The patient should be seated in a semi-reclining
position with the back and legs supported and with head rest in
the nape of the neck.
Most adult patients will respond to the dental surgeon's endeavors
to gain the patient his or her confidence and so premedication
will not be required for the administration of a local anaesthetic
for a relatively simple procedure.
