With uncomplicated removal of the teeth of the upper jaw, in the absence of inflammation, 1.8 ml of the drug (per tooth) is usually injected into the submucosa in the region of the transitional fold from the vestibular side. In some cases, additional administration of 1 ml to 1.8 ml of the drug may be required to achieve complete anesthesia. In most cases, there is no need to perform painful injections from the palatal side. For anesthesia with palatine incisions and suturing with the purpose of creating a palatine depot, about 0.1 ml of the drug per shot is needed. When several adjacent teeth are removed, the number of injections is usually limited. In the case of removal of premolars of the lower jaw in the absence of inflammation, mandibular anesthesia can be dispensed with, as infiltration anesthesia, provided by injection of 1.8 ml per tooth, is usually sufficient. If this method fails to achieve the desired effect, an additional injection of 1-1.8 ml of the drug into the submucosa should be performed in the region of the transitional fold of the lower jaw from the vestibular side.If, in this case, it was not possible to achieve complete anesthesia, it is necessary to blockade the mandibular nerve.
To prepare the cavity or prepare for the crown of any tooth, with the exception of lower molars, the administration of the drug in a dose of 0.5 ml to 1.8 ml per tooth as infiltration anesthesia from the vestibular side is indicated. The exact amount depends on the desired depth of the procedure.
Usually mandibular anesthesia is indicated only in cases where the above procedures do not lead to complete anesthesia.
In surgical interventions, it is recommended to use the 40 mg / ml Spray + 10 μg / ml and, depending on the severity and duration of the intervention, is dosed individually.
When performing one treatment procedure, adults can administer up to 7 mg of articaine per 1 kg of body weight. The duration of anesthesia, during which the intervention can be performed, is 30-45 minutes.
For children, the drug is administered in amounts that depend on their age, body weight and method of anesthesia.
For children aged 4 to 12 years, the dose of the drug administered is not more than 5 mg of articaine per kg of body weight.
For children with a body weight of 20 to 30 kg, the recommended dose of the drug is from 0.25 to 1 ml (from 1/6 to 1/2 cartridge). The maximum single dose of the drug should not exceed 1.5 ml. The daily dose should not exceed 2.5 ml.
For children with a body weight of 30 to 45 kg, the recommended dose of the drug is from 0.5 to 1.7 ml (from 1/3 to 1 cartridge). The maximum single dose of the drug should not exceed 1.7 ml. The daily dose should not exceed 5 ml.
In elderly patients and patients with impaired liver and kidney function, the concentration of articaine in the plasma may increase. These patients should use the minimum doses necessary to achieve sufficient depth of anesthesia.
