Bhavik Jaysukhbhai Makhwana, Nirav Navinchandra Arora

Young, educated population is waking up to the possibilities of ayurveda (ayur: life; veda: knowledge). However, the knowledge regarding science and practice of ayurvedic dentistry is limited or none. Routine dental extractions involve the use of local anesthetic agent in order to relieve the sensation of pain. In the present review article, we aim to throw a light on a technique wherein we do not use the conventional local anesthetics, instead we use the art and science of Ayurveda and yoga for extratction of human teeth. This technique, which is used for painless tooth extraction without local anesthesia, is known as Jalandhar Bandha Yoga.
Key words: Painless, Extraction, Jalandhara Bandha Yoga
