How many times have your patients cringed at the sight of a needle or asked if there is any other way to anaesthetise the area? With Oraqix® non-injectable anaesthetic gel from DENTSPLY, some dental treatments can now be carried out without the need for needles.

Oraqix is a non-injectable dental local anaesthetic (25/25 mg per g lidocaine/prilocaine periodontal gel) that is indicated in adults for localised anaesthesia in periodontal pockets for diagnostic and treatment procedures such as probing, scaling and/or root planing. Oraqix is a liquid that turns to gel at body temperature, keeping it in place to help induce anaesthesia in just 30 seconds. With an anaesthetic duration of 20 minutes, there is also no post-procedural numbness.

Applied to the treatment area with a specifically designed OraqixTM Dispenser, the gel can be site specific and placed in a number of areas in the mouth in the same session. Oraqix not only provides clinical flexibility and effectiveness, but also leaves patients feeling happier about treatments and relaxed in your chair.
