Why do doctors LIKE articaine?
Anecdotal comments from dentists:!
“It works faster”!
“It works better”!
“I don’t miss as often”!
“Hard to get ‘numb’ patients are easier to
numb with articaine”

The SCIENCE of Articaine HCl
Since 1973 there have been more than 200
papers published in the dental / medical
literature on articaine HCl

The SCIENCE of Articaine HCl
Articaine has been compared to lidocaine,
mepivacaine and prilocaine!
Virtually ALL studies have demonstrated that
articaine is AS SAFE and AS EFFECTIVE as
the drug it which it was compared.

Efficacy of articaine: a new amide local anesthetic
CONCLUSIONS!
!
Four percent articaine with epinephrine 1:100,000 is a safe and
effective local anesthetic for use in clinical dentistry. In this
investigation consisting of three randomized, double-blind
trials, we found articaine to be well tolerated in 882 subjects,
and that it provided clinically effective pain relief during most
dental procedures. Furthermore, we observed no significant
difference in pain relief between subjects in the 4 percent
articaine with epinephrine 1:100,000 group and those in the 2
percent lidocaine with epinephrine 1:100,000 group.!

Efficacy of articaine: a new amide local anesthetic
CONCLUSIONS!
!
For 4 percent articaine with epinephrine 1:100,000, time to
onset of anesthesia and duration of anesthesia are
appropriate for clinical use and are comparable to those
observed for other commercially available local anesthetics.!
Articaine can be used effectively in both adults and children.!

Konklusioner på vurdering af bivirkninger ved
lokalbedøvelsesmidler brugt til tandbehandling
Produktresumé for Septanest®
EU´s Bivirkningskomité har på et møde d. 17. oktober 2006 igen vurderet forekomst af
bivirkninger, især mistanke om nerveskader (paræstesier, føleforstyrrelser), ved brug af
lokalbedøvelsesmidler anvendt i forbindelse med tandbehandling.
Produktresumé for Septocaine®
Vurderingen er en opfølgning på en undersøgelse, der indledtes i 2005. Undersøgelsen blev sat i
værk, fordi der i Danmark var rejst mistanke om, at ét af lokalbedøvelsesmidlerne, articain,
indebar øget risiko for nerveskader, set i forhold til risikoen ved anvendelse af andre
lokalbedøvelsesmidler (mepivacain, prilocain, lidocain).
Produktresumé for Ubistesin Forte®
Undersøgelsen er foretaget i tæt samarbejde med indehaveren af markedsføringstilladelsen for
lægemidlerne Septanest® og Septocain®. I undersøgelsen indgår de samlede internationale
erfaringer indhentet fra 57 lande. Det anslås at ca. 100 millioner patienter årligt behandles med
articain.
Septanest® og Septocain® og risiko
for føleforstyrrelser
Undersøgelsen omfatter en gennemgang af eksperimentelle studier samt af kliniske forsøg med
raske frivillige samt patienter. Gennemgangen omfatter de almindeligst anvendte
lokalbedøvelsesmidler og altså ikke kun articain. Endvidere er samtlige bivirkningsrapporter
indsamlet på verdensplan gennemgået.
Produktresumé for Ubistesin®
Undersøgelse af bivirkninger ved
bedøvelsesmidler ved tandbehandling
20 October 2006
Med hensyn til articain er konklusionen, at der ikke er sket afgørende ændringer i dette
lægemiddels sikkerhedsprofil siden tidspunktet for påbegyndelse af markedsføringen (1988). Der
er således intet grundlag for at afvige fra at bruge articain efter de gældende retningslinier, som
fremgår af produkt- resumeet.
Konklusionen er endvidere at
alle lokalbedøvelsesmidler kan forårsage nerveskade (er neurotoksiske).
o Forekomsten af føleforstyrrelser forekommer tilsyneladende med lidt større hyppighed
efter anvendelse af articain og prilocain. Set i forhold til antallet af behandlede patienter
er føleforstyrrelserne imidlertid sjældent forekommende. Eksempelvis anslås
forekomsten af føleforstyrrelser ved anvendelse af articain at være et tilfælde pr. 4.5
millioner behandlede patienter.
nerveskader kan have flere årsager
o mekanisk forårsaget skade ved nåleindstikket
o direkte toksisk påvirkning af lægemidlet
o utilstrækkelig ilttilførsel til nerven
der er ikke umiddelbart behov for yderligere eksperimentelle undersøgelser eller kliniske
forsøg
der bør gøres en indsats for yderligere at mindske forekomsten af nerveskader
o Indehaveren af markedsføringstilladelsen har fremsat forslag til, hvorledes risikoen for
nerveskader kan nedsættes yderligere; forslaget indebærer bl.a. undervisningstilbud for
tandlæger, forbedret information i produktresumeet samt øget rapportering i en periode
til myndighederne.
I Danmark er følgende lokalbedøvelsesmidler med indhold af articain markedsført: Septanest®,
Septocaine®, Ubistesin® og Ubistesin Forte® (se link til produktresumeer for de fire lægemidler
i faktaboksen øverst til højre på siden).

Pharmacovigilance Committee of the European Union
Regarding articaine, the conclusion is that safety profile of the
drug has not significantly evolved since its initial launch (1998).
Thus, no medical evidence exists to prohibit the use of articaine
according to the current guidelines listed the summary of
product characteristics.

All local anaesthetics may cause nerve injury (they are neurotoxic in nature).!
The occurrence of sensory impairment is apparently slightly more
frequent following the use of articaine and prilocaine. However,
considering the number of patients treated, sensory impairments rarely
occur. For example, the incidence of sensory impairment following the
use of articaine is estimated to be 1 case in 4.8 million treated patients.!
!
Nerve injuries may result from several incidents:!
Mechanical injury due to needle insertion!
Direct toxicity from the drug!
Neural ischaemia!
!
There is no need for new experimental studies or clinical trials

the WEBER effect
The Weber Effect is an epidemiologic phenomenon
which states that the number of reported adverse
reactions for a drug rises until about the middle to end
of the 2nd year of marketing, peaks, and then steadily
declines despite steadily increasing prescribing rates.

Conclusion:
The results suggest that articaine is
not toxic to the nervous structure
and further studies are necessary to
explain the possible relation between
articaine injection and paresthesia.

paresthesia?

Dr. Anthony Pogrel
E-mail 2 February 2012
Malamed to Pogrel:!
Can you provide me with a summary of just
why it appears that the lingual nerve is involved
in this problem so much more so than others?!
How much LA does a dentist deposit to
anesthetize the lingual nerve when doing the
IANB? !
Very little, if any. So why do 'they' cast
blame on the drug?
123
© 2014 Dr. Stanley F. Malamed!
All Rights Reserved
Why LINGUAL nerve?
Dr. Pogrel’s reply:!
“I do think there is also a genuine difference in the
incidence, and as you say,!
It is not due to the local anesthetic itself since the vast
majority (volume) is deposited close to the inferior
alveolar nerve and not the lingual nerve. !
If it was a neurotoxic phenomenon, you would expect the
inferior alveolar nerve to be affected much more.”
© 2014 Dr. Stanley F. Malamed!
All Rights Reserved
124
Why LINGUAL nerve?
!
The fact that the lingual nerve is stretched when
the mandible is open to an the inferior alveolar
block probably does give it less opportunity to
get out of the way and makes it much more likely
that this phenomenon is traumatic.

137
Articaine has been claimed to be more
effective, but there are reports of an
increased risk of neurotoxicity,
presenting as prolonged numbness in
the areas of distribution, often with pain.
This may be due to the high
concentration of the solution rather
than to the anesthetic itself.*
Consequently, it is recommended that
articaine should not be used for
regional blocks (eg inferior alveolar).
