Abstract: ABSTRACT: Background: Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction.The most common anaphylactic reactions are to food, insect stings, medications and latex.Anaphylaxis is the result of E-mediated mast cell degranulation.Incase of any allergy, our immune system overreacts to this allergen by releasing chemicals that cause allergy symptoms such as rashes, wheezing etc. Anaphylactic reactions due to local anaesthetics and associated agents used during dental procedures are more common. Aim: To create awareness among dental students about Anaphylaxis. Materials And Methods: A questionnaire survey was designed for Dental students. The questionnaire had 10 questions about knowledge and awareness on Anaphylaxis. The subjects involved were Dental Students (n=100). Questionnaires were distributed to the Dental students of various dental colleges in Chennai city and Data analysis was done using SPSS software. Result: Only 38% of the dental students were aware about the effects of anaphylaxis and 62% of the dental students were unaware of the effects and the complications of anaphylaxis. 49%of the dental students encountered patients with anaphylactic reactions due to LA and 57% of the dental students ask the patients for drug allergy before the treatment. Conclusion: The present study found that the awareness regarding Anaphylaxis among the dental students was inadequate.Further awareness would enhance the efficacy their knowledgeand overcome the difficulties faced while practicing. Therefore it is necessary to increase the awareness among dental students about the complications And the preventive measures of Anaphylaxis.
Keywords: Keywords: Anaphylaxis, Local anaesthesia, Drug allergy.
