Oraqix periodontal gel (lidocaine, prilocaine) from Dentsply Ltd is a non-injectable dental local anaesthetic. It is indicated in adults for localised anaesthesia in periodontal pockets for diagnostic and treatment procedures such as probing, scaling and/or root planing (SRP).

There is no need for a needle for those who are phobic – and it is a quick option to provide pain relief during SRP for those who normally have to go without. Oraqix is applied to the periodontal pocket with a special patient-friendly, ergonomic Oraqix Dispenser, developed by Dentsply. The anaesthetic takes effect in around 30 seconds.
