2 Stanley F. MALAMED, DDS Dentist Anesthesiologist Emeritus Professor of Dentistry Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC I have a relationship with the following company that may be relevant to this presentation. I am a paid consultant to: Septodont, Inc OraPharma ESTERS AMIDES Short - Duration LAs - USA Cocaine Articaine ~ 30 minutes Procaine Tetracaine Benzocaine Chloroprocaine Propoxycaine 1948 Bupivacaine Lidocaine Mepivacaine Prilocaine Mepivacaine 3% No vasoconstrictor Prilocaine 4% No vasoconstrictor

4 Pain Control Options Inferior Alveolar nerve block Inferior alveolar nerve block Advantages 1. More extensive profound pulpal anesthesia Multiple crown preparations Inferior Alveolar nerve block Disadvantages 1. Slower onset of pulpal anesthesia 2. Prolonged duration of soft tissue anesthesia Lip & tongue How long does it take for pulpal anesthesia to develop?

Malamed Pain Control Options Buffered Lidocaine by IANB By INCREASING the ph of the local anesthetic solution from 3.5 to 7.35 we: Make the injection more comfortable Increase the effectiveness of the LA Dramatically decrease the onset time Decrease postoperative soreness

Administer buffered lidocaine IANB 2. DO NOT LEAVE PATIENT!!! 3. You will know if your block is successful in 2 minutes 4. Check for pulpal anesthesia: EPT or Endo-Ice 5. In 2 minutes following IANB begin tooth preparation

10 Onset clinical treatment recommendations for CEREC preparation 1. Administer buffered lidocaine IANB 2. Scan tooth, if needed (~30 seconds with Omnicam) 3. In 2 minutes following IANB begin tooth preparation 4. Preparation requires 30 to 40 minutes 5. Rescan tooth 6. Patient remains in chair during milling process 7. Completed crown is seated Pain Control Options Articaine Ultracain Septocaine Articadent Vivacaine Septanest Alphacaine Zorcaine Synthesized in Germany 1973 Introduced Germany 1976 Articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:100,000 1:200,000 1st & only Local anesthetic designed for dentistry 2015 Dr. Stanley F.
