Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency. Virtually, any individual may develop hypersensitivity to any of the various formulations/substances used in dental practice and this necessitates all dental professionals to keep themselves updated with the latest guide-line on management of life threatening anaphylaxis. Guidelines by the World Allergy Organization for the assessment and management of anaphylaxis in 2011 are discussed.
