Indications
Ultracaine (articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine) is indicated for infiltration anesthesia and
nerve block anesthesia in clinical dentistry.
Benefits
Quick elimination from the bloodstream 4
Ultracaine’s chemical structure allows it to be metabolized by blood estearases before reaching the liver.
Shortest half-time of all anesthetic solutions 4
The 20-minute breakdown of articaine to an inactive metabolite is related to a very low systemic toxicity and
consequently to the possibility of repeated injections.
Higher lipid solubility 4
Articaine diffuses better through soft tissue and bone.
