In dentistry, topical anesthetic is frequently utilized. Its clinical efficacy is still debatable, though. In order to determine the most researched medications, research trends, top authors, geographic distribution, funding sources, and study characteristics, this study performed a bibliometric analysis of the most cited clinical dentistry articles on topical anesthesia. In recent years, articaine has gained popularity in clinics as a novel medication for local dental anesthetic. The invention of articaine, its mechanism of action, comparison of its effectiveness with other widely used local anesthetics in dental treatment, and an overview of its use in specific populations are all included in this article. Research will continue to look for new and efficient pain management methods even if local anesthetics remain the cornerstone of pain treatment in dentistry. Enhancing anesthetic drugs, delivery systems, and associated techniques is the main focus of research efforts. Recent technological advancements can help the dentist provide greater pain treatment with fewer uncomfortable injections and fewer side effects. The goal of the current literature study is to gather data that will persuade dentists to use contemporary local anesthetics in addition to other strategies and tactics to lessen patient discomfort during anesthesia administration. In conclusion, articaine is more anesthetically effective than lidocaine in clinical dental therapy, and there is no statistically significant difference between the two drugs' safety. Specifically, articaine can be used flexibly for clinical application and provides a number of benefits. In the foreseeable future, atecaine has enormous potential for widespread use in dental offices.
