United Kingdom dentist question only?

Hello





I need to know where I can find all the names or/and lists of anesthetics drugs that dentist use in terms of its chemical names and brand-names (brand names - that is critical to know). I really need all of the them.





I have looked on the BNF (British National Formulary), but they do not have all the dentists anesthetic brands. So, is there is a dental index?





This I need to know inorder to reasearch the adatives, adreniline levels and do on.


Mainly, local anesthetic.

United Kingdom dentist question only?
I'm not a UK dentist, but most local anesthetic solutions with epinephrine (adrenaline) are at a concentration of 1:100,000. Some LA's have 1:50,000 and 1:200,000. Xylocaine (generic named Lidocaine) is the most commonly used LA in dentistry.
Reply:Robert is right, but to be specfic in answering your request, here's a list of stuff we use in the USA. As far as I know, the UK is pretty much on the same page with us. I won't include all the combinations of vasoconstrictors, as you will be able to find that in your research. 1:100,000 epi is by FAR the most commonly used, though. I am not mentioning brand names, either, hoping that you get a UK response, as I am sure that your brands are different. I'm only answering in hopes that you can use this info if you do not hear from a UK dentist. Worst case, perhaps you can search and locate dental suppliers in the UK and find a listing of local anesthetics in their on-line catalogs.





In the USA, lidocaine, mepivicaine, prilocaine, bupivacaine, and articaine cover 99% as far as I can think of right now. Nobody over here uses actual Novocaine (procaine) for dental injections anymore, but that name still hangs on as the common name. Propoxycaine has also fallen out of use, but might still be used in Europe. There used to be a brand name called Duranest that I don't see listed anymore, either.





Vasoconstrictors that I can think of that are used in dental cartridges are epinephrine, and levonordefrin.
