24 hr?: I am not sure i correctly understand your question. Perhaps you are asking about how much anesthetic is safe to get administered in 24 hours since how much dentistry we can do depends on your talorance and your tmjoint and facial muscles do not get tired and exhausted from keeping mouth open.

No magic number: There is no specific number. It all depends on the type of procedures, the amount of anesthetic given, the health and tolerance level of the patient. Some procedures can be very simple, while others may be more complicated. Your dentist will generally have a treatment plan for you and will establish the number of appointments necessary.

There is no: Finite number of procedures that you can have performed in a 24 hour period. It depends on many factors-- nature of procedures, whether anesthetics are needed, how much, etc; also whether general or local anesthesia is being used. Often people who are phobic opt to have full mouth treatment under general anesthesia. Best to consult with your dentist to determine the best route for you.
