Published Studies Related to Citanest Plain (Prilocaine Dental)

Injection pain of prilocaine plain, mepivacaine plain, articaine with epinephrine, and lidocaine with epinephrine. [2006.05]
In a double-blind study design, 1,391 consecutive patients in a general dental practice received one of four different local anesthetics (articaine with epinephrine, lidocaine with epinephrine, mepivacaine plain, or prilocaine plain) via a maxillary buccal infiltration, palatal infiltration, or inferior alveolar block injection...

Prilocaine versus plain or buffered lidocaine for local anesthesia in laceration repair: randomized double-blind comparison. [2003.12]
AIM: To compare the effectiveness of 2% prilocaine plain solution, 1% lidocaine hydrochloride, and 1% buffered lidocaine in local anesthesia and pain reduction during injection in laceration repair... CONCLUSION: Injection of 1% lidocaine was associated with lower pain ratings on suturing needle puncture than with 2% prilocaine or buffered 1% lidocaine.

Intrapocket anesthesia for scaling and root planing: results of a double-blind multicenter trial using lidocaine prilocaine dental gel. [2001.07]
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of a novel anesthetic gel (lidocaine 25 mg/g plus prilocaine 25 mg/g in thermosetting agents) for non-invasive periodontal pocket anesthesia was evaluated... CONCLUSIONS: Intrapocket administration of lidocaine 25 mg/g plus prilocaine 25 mg/g and thermosetting agents may be effective for pain control for scaling and root planing and may offer an alternative to infiltration anesthesia.

The anesthetic onset and duration of a new lidocaine/prilocaine gel intra-pocket anesthetic (Oraqix) for periodontal scaling/root planing. [2001.05]
BACKGROUND: A new non-injection anesthetic, lidocaine/prilocaine gel (Oraqix, AstraZeneca) in a reversible thermosetting system, has been developed to provide local anesthesia for scaling/root planing (SRP). The aim of this study was to determine the anesthetic onset and duration of the gel for SRP in patients with periodontitis... CONCLUSION: Oraqix provides anesthesia after an application time of 30 s, with a mean duration of action of about 17 to 20 min.

Prilocaine versus lignocaine for minor lid procedures. [2000.08]
PURPOSE: To determine whether prilocaine is a more comfortable local infiltration anaesthetic agent than the more widely used lignocaine for minor eyelid procedures... CONCLUSION: Prilocaine is a more comfortable local infiltration anaesthetic agent than lignocaine when used for minor eyelid procedures.

Clinical Trials Related to Citanest Plain (Prilocaine Dental)

Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of PSD502 (a Topical Anesthetic) in the Treatment Premature Ejaculation [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of the investigational drug, PSD502 in subjects with premature ejaculation (PE) The study drug, PSD02, is a metered dose (measured dose), topical (applied to the skin surface) anesthetic (numbing) spray containing a mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine. The study drug will be applied in a spray to the penis prior to intercourse in order to decrease sensitivity in an attempt to delay ejaculation.

Phase I Study of PSD502 (Lidocaine Prilocaine Spray) Applied to the Glans Penis up to Three Times a Day for 21 Days in Healthy Male Volunteers [Active, not recruiting]

Local Anesthesia and Tuberculin Skin Test in Infants and Children [Not yet recruiting]
The use of local anaesthesia efficiently reduces pain due to needle puncture. However, when tuberculin skin test is performed it is the skin reaction to tuberculin injection that is studied. It is a quantitative skin reaction measured in millimiters. From the study of literature it is not known whether local anaesthetic modify skin reaction to tuberculin. Therefore, before recommending the use local anaesthesia for tuberculin intradermal injection we have to rule out a potential effect of local anaesthetic on the result of the test. This is particularly important in children, since there are more sensitive to pain than adults

EEG and Auditory Evoked Potentials During Local Anesthesia [Not yet recruiting]
The aim of the present study was to investigate the sensitivity of AEP (auditory evoked potentials) to muscular artefacts using sedation and local anesthesia.
