Basic anatomy of ANS
Sympathetic NS
Parasympathetic NS
Two main differences
OriginFunction-
Enteric NS
-Collection of nerve fibers that
innervate GIT, pancrease & gall
bladder
-Called “brain of gut”
-They control motility, exocrine
& endocrine secretion, as well as
microcirculation of gut
-Modulated by sympathatic &
Parasympathatic systems

Autonomic Pharmacology
Autonomic Nervous System
This system is divided into two separate systems.
These systems are called the parasympathetic
nervous system and the sympathetic nervous
system.
These systems often produce opposite effects,
but branches do not always produce opposite effects.
Homeostasis – proper balance of the two
branches achieved by changing one or both
branches

Autonomic Nervous System: Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic Divisions
Drugs in this group are designed to either enhance or
mimic the autonomic nervous system or to block the
effects of the neurotransmitters at their receptor sites.

Effects of Muscarinic Antagonists
Cardiovascular effect:
• Heart: Small dose (bradycardia, CIC)
Larger dose (block M2 at SA node, tachycardia 8090 beat/min)
• BV: No effect
• BP: No effect
Exocrine glands:
• At low dose, it inhibits salivary, lachrymal, bronchial & sweat
glands
• Inhibition of secretions by sweat glands can cause elevated
body temp

Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
Effects of Muscarinic Antagonists (cont.)
Smooth Muscles:
• Eye:
- Iris: Passive mydriasis & becomes unresponsive to light
- Ciliary Muscle: Paralysis of accommodation (cycloplegia)
- In patient with narrow angel glaucoma, IOP may rise dangerously, so
short acting antimuscarinic tropicamide or α agonist phenylephrine are
more preferred in ophthalmic examination
CNS:
• Excitatory, at low dose (restlessness) & at high dose (agitation &
disorientation)
• In poisoning, rise in body temp. & hypereactivity

ganglia, therefore they are rarely used
therapeutically
(experimental
tools
in
pharmacology)
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
3. Neuromuscular Blockers
Drugs can block neuromuscular transmission in three
main ways:
1.

By interfering with the
postsynaptic action of Ach:
a- Depolarizing Blocking Agents (DNMB)
3.
•
•
Produce initial stimulation followed by failure of transmission
e.g. succinylcholine & decamethonium
b- Competitive Blocking Agents (CNMB)
•
They are pure antagonists
•
e.g. curare & gallamine

Adrenergic Drugs
These drugs stimulate α and β receptors
throughout the body.
Adrenergic drugs can be classified as having
direct action, indirect action, or mixed action.
1.
Drugs with direct action (epinephrine,
norepinephrine, isoproterenol) produce their
effect by directly stimulating the receptor site.
Drugs with indirect action:
aStimulate
release
of
endogenous
norepinephrine which then stimulates the
receptor; amphetamine.
2.

b- Inhibition of the membrane reuptake of
catecholamines by drugs such as cocaine
and
tricyclic
antidepressants.
c. Inhibition of monoamine oxidase by drugs
such as Tranylcypromine.
3.
Drugs with mixed action (ephedrine) either
directly stimulate the receptor or release
endogenous norepinephrine.

Dental Use
Vasoconstriction
• These drugs are used in dentistry because of their
vasoconstrictive actions on blood vessels. They
are added to local anesthetics because they
prolong the action of the local anesthetic, reduce
the risk for systemic toxicity, and help to create a
dry field.
• Act as homeostatic agent aids in control
bleeding
• Cocaine has limited use as a local anesthesic
and vasoconstrictor in surgical procedures
involving oral, laryngeal or nasal cavities.
• But close monitoring regard to cardiac effects
• These drugs raise blood pressure .

Cautions Relevant to Dentistry
1)
2)
Cocaine and amphetamine-like agents (tricyclic
antidepressants as well) could potentiate the
effects of direct acting agonists such as
epinephrine.
epinephrine can be absorbed systemically after
intraoral administration. This epinephrine can
be taken up by nerve terminals and this uptake
contributes to the termination of the actions of
epinephrine. Thus, the risk of hypertension and
other problems associated with systemic
absorption of epinephrine will be greater in
patients taking cocaine or amphetamine-like
drugs.

Clonidine
ALPHA2 AGONISTS
Actions
and
Therapeutic
Uses
1. This drug stimulates alpha2 receptors in the
nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) to decrease
sympathetic outflow to the heart and blood
vessels.
2. The decrease in sympathetic tone results in a
decrease
in
blood
pressure.
3. Clonidine is used in dental practice in the
management of chronic pain. It can be given
orally
or
in
patch
form.

Clonidine is a second-line antihypertensive
that has many other uses including opiate
withdrawal, nicotine withdrawal, vascular
headaches, diabetic diarrhea, glaucoma,
ulcerative colitis.
Side Effects
The use of clonidine may result in clinical
symptoms related to dry mouth, such as
difficulty in swallowing and speech. Chronic
use of xerostomia-producing drugs is
associated with a higher incidence of oral
candidiasis and dental caries.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
These drugs inhibit monoamine oxidase and
are used as antidepressants in psychiatric
practice.
Can precipitate a hypertensive crisis. Patients
taking MAO inhibitors must not be given
drugs that have indirect sympathomimetic
activity or are inactivated by MAO.
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
Occasionally, the dentist may find reason to
use the vasoconstrictor phenylephrine.
Because
it
causes
even
a minor release of norepinephrine from
adrenergic nerves and is subject to
metabolism by MAO.
phenylephrine must be avoided in patients
taking MAO inhibitors.
Epinephrine and levonordefrin, which are
most commonly found in local anesthetic
solutions, are not contraindicated, since they
are direct agonists and are largely inactivated
by catechol-O-methyltransferase.
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
Nonetheless, the avoidance of hemostatic
preparations containing high concentrations
of
epinephrine
is
recommended.
Opioids and other CNS depressants should
be used cautiously and usually at lower
doses
in
patients who are taking MAO inhibitors.
Meperidine is absolutely contraindicated.

Side Effect : orthostatic hypotension
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
Orthostatic hypotension in
dentistry
Orthostatic hypotension is a problem with prazosin
analogs and to a lesser extent tamsulosin.
Significantly, orthostatsis is a problem that can be
seen with any vasodilator that affects the tone on
venous smooth muscle.
This would include, organic nitrates, hydralazine,
clonidine, minixodil and the many drugs.
Orthostatic hypotension or postural hypotension
occurs when systemic arterial blood pressure falls by
more than 20 mmHg upon standing.
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
In this situation, cerebral perfusion falls and
an individual may become light headed, dizzy
or fatality may occur.
In changing from the supine to the standing
position, gravity tends to cause blood to pool
in the lower extremities. However, several
reflexes, including sympathetically mediated
venoconstriction minimize this pooling and
maintain cerebral perfusion. If these reflex
actions do not occur, then orthostatic
hypotension could result.
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
By blocking the alpha1-receptors associated
with venous smooth muscle, prazosin-like
drugs, inhibit the sympathetically mediated
vasoconstriction associated with postural
changes. Hence, orthostatic hypotension can
occur.
Drugs like clonidine cause orthostasis due to
its CNS actions that block the sympathetic
reflexes.
Vasodilators such as nitrates, minoxidil,
hydralazine or impotence medications cause
orthostasis because of their actions directly
on the vasculature.
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
A consideration for patients being treated with
some sympatholytics is the patient's position
during and after dental procedures.
Suddenly standing upright after being in a
supine position in the dental chair is very
probable to cause syncope.

beta blocking drugs
Decreased heart rate
Decreased force of contraction
Decreased Cardiac Output
Slow cardiac conduction
Decreased automaticity of ectopic pacemakers
Decreased renin secretion from kidneys
Decreased BP
Bronchoconstriction
Less effective metabolism of glucose. May result
in more pronounced hypoglycemia and early s/s of
hypoglycemia may be blocked (tachycardia).

Uses of Beta blocking
medications
Inderal (propranolol) is prototype
Mainly for cardiovascular disorders (angina,
dysrhythmias,
hypertension,
Myocardial
Infarction and glaucoma.
In angina, beta blockers decrease myocardial
oxygen consumption by decreasing rate, BP and
contractility. Slow conduction both in SA node
and AV node.
Useful in pheochromocytoma in conjunction with
alpha blockers (counter catecholamine release)
migraines
Mosby items and derived items © 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
Combination selectivity
Labetalol and carvedilol (Coreg) block alpha
1 receptors to cause vasodilation and beta 1
and beta 2 receptors which affect heart and
lungs
Both alpha and beta properties contribute to
antihypertensive effects
May cause less bradycardia but more
postural hypotension
Less reflex tachycardia

Application to dentistry
Because nonselective β-blockers block β2receptor mediated vasodilation, there is a
risk of a hypertensive episode following
administration of local anesthetic agents that
contain epinephrine.
In this situation, the vasoconstrictor actions of
epinephrine at α1 -receptors are not opposed
by the vasodilatory actions of β2-receptors
resulting in an exaggerated blood pressure
response that could be deleterious in patients
with hypertension or ischemic heart disease.
