Dentipatch (Lidocaine Buccal) - Indications and Dosage

 
 



INDICATIONS AND USAGE

The DentiPatch® system is indicated for the production of mild topical anesthesia of the accessible mucous membranes of the mouth prior to superficial dental procedures. It may also reduce the pain associated with injections of local anesthetic into the gingiva.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

When the DentiPatch® system is used concomitantly with other products containing lidocaine, the total dose contributed by all formulations must be kept in mind.

Isolate the procedure area with cotton rolls and use suction as appropriate. Dry the tissue with air or gauze. Remove the DentiPatch® system from its packaging and peel off the clear protective liner. Immediately apply the DentiPatch® system using firm pressure. Allow the patch to remain in place until the desired anesthetic effect is produced but not for longer than 15 minutes. Experience in children is inadequate to recommend a pediatric dose at this time.
