[Articaine and adrenaline combinations efficacy for dental anesthesia]. 2009

A Zh Petrikas, and V A Egorova, and K V Ermilova

5 articaine preparations including besides 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:100 000 and 1:200 000, 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:400 000, 2% articaine 1:200 000 and articaine without a vasoconstrictor were investigated on 52 volunteers, dental students. It was established that new combinations of articaine with epinephrine had relatively high activity to anesthetize dental pulp which was comparable with classic agents but slightly inferior to them in all the criteria studied. Articaine without adrenaline had not practically induced pulpal analgesia.

D003782	Dental Pulp	A richly vascularized and innervated connective tissue of mesodermal origin, contained in the central cavity of a tooth and delimited by the dentin, and having formative, nutritive, sensory, and protective functions.

D004837	Epinephrine	The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

D000779	Anesthetics, Local	Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.
