The article is devoted to the review of possible reactions to the use of sulfite-containing anesthetics and ways to detect and prevent allergic reactions in dental practice. About 7% of all people suffering from bronchial asthma have an increased sensitivity to sulfites. To date, the mechanisms that underlie susceptibility to sulfites remain unclear, although a number of potential mechanisms have been proposed, including genetic predisposition. Undoubtedly, optimal selection of a local anesthetic for patients with weighed allergic anamnesis will require adequate diagnosis of possible drug allergies, joint management of such patients by a dentist and an allergist.
