- A prescription amide local anesthetic combined with a vasoconstrictor, specifically formulated for dental procedures
Uses
- Infiltration Anesthesia:
- Administered intraorally via submucosal infiltration for localized single-tooth numbing
- Conductive Nerve Blocks:
- Used for regional nerve blocks (such as the inferior alveolar nerve block) to numb larger sections of the jaw
- Complex Oral Surgery:
- Deployed in procedures involving the oral mucosa or bone where substantial bleeding control is necessary
- Routine Operative Care:
- Utilized during cavity preps, crown or bridge stump preparations, and root canal therapy
Features
- Aseptic Manufacturing Process:
- Orabloc is uniquely manufactured using an aseptic terminal sterilization process rather than traditional heat autoclave techniques
- 1:100,000 Epinephrine Ratio:
- Contains a higher concentration of vasoconstrictor compared to the 1:200,000 alternative, providing enhanced blood flow restriction
- Pure Formulation:
- Free of common chemical additives like sodium edetate and methylparaben, and contains no natural rubber latex
- Individually Blister-Packed:
- Every individual glass cartridge is sealed in its own protective blister shell to shield it from ambient air and contamination during storage
- 1.8mL Single-Dose Cartridges:
- Standard-size glass cylinders designed for smooth extrusion in traditional dental aspirating syringes
Benefits
- Rapid Anesthetic Onset:
- Takes effect within 1 to 3 minutes of injection, reducing patient wait times and maximizing clinical efficiency
- Pronounced Hemostasis:
- Effectively minimizes bleeding at the site, which ensures clear surgical field visualization for the clinician
- Extended Working Window:
- Delivers deep anesthesia lasting approximately 1 hour for infiltration and up to 2 hours for nerve blocks
- Reduced Product Degradation:
- Aseptic creation yields extremely low levels of impurities, like articaine acid or epinephrine sulphonic acid, keeping the solution highly stable.
