Oraqix

Oraqix Periodontal Anesthetic

DENTSPLY Pharmaceutical

Oraqix provides effective injection-free anesthesia for scaling and root planing.
DENTSPLY Pharmaceutical’s Oraqix (2.5% lidocaine, 2.5% prilocaine) is the only FDA-approved, needle-free anesthetic for scaling and root planing (SRP). The subgingival gel provides profound, rapid-onset anesthesia directly to the periodontal pocket without the need for injections. Because Oraqix is site-specific, multiple areas can be treated in a single visit.
Benefits:
Needle-free, increases patient comfort during anesthesia administration.
Safe*, low risk of allergic reaction and not contraindicated for use on inflamed tissue
Easy to use, applied as a liquid, but sets to a gel, so it stays in place for effective absorption on desired treatment area
Fast onset, anesthetizing effects in just 30 seconds, allowing treatment to begin quickly
20-minute duration, returns patients to normal sensitivity in about 20 minutes, so they can resume normal activity quickly
High maximum dosage, up to 5 cartridges per appointment
Site-specific, so multiple areas of the mouth can be treated in one visit, enabling full-mouth procedures

* Note: There are possible risks associated with the use of Oraqix, which are described in the Package Insert. These risks should be reviewed prior to using Oraqix.
