All Rights Reserved 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.! © 2014 Dr. Stanley F.

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).

All Rights Reserved et d. 27.11.2006 60 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. 20 October 2006 61 © 2014 Dr. Stanley F. Malamed! All Rights Reserved Pharmacovigilance Committee of the European Union 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:!

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?!

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. © 2014 Dr. Stanley F.

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). *Kingon A, Sambrook P, Goss A 138 © 2014 Dr. Stanley F.
