Microneedles (MNs) for local anaesthesia delivery are as successful as the current gold standard, according to a study published in the Advanced Functional Materials
Pain management during dental procedures is a cornerstone for successful daily practice. In current practice, the traditional needle and syringe injection are used to administer local anaesthesia. Perhaps the most common tool for dental pain management is a 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (HCl) solution with 1:100,000 epinephrine. A cartridge with up to 1.8 ml of 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine provides the duration of approximately 60 to 90 minutes when using an injection block technique for pulpal anaesthesia. Any cartridge may contain 1.8 ml of solution, but the average volume is 1.76 ml and recommendations to calculate dosage should err on the higher volume for safety purposes.
