Oraqix Dispenser & Periodontal Gel | Dentsply Sirona Norway

The needle-free anesthetic for scaling and/or root planing

Early treatment of gingivitis is key to preventing the development of periodontitis. Additionally, failure to comply with an ongoing periodontal maintenance program may contribute to the recurrence or progression of the periodontal disease process.

That’s why providing a better patient experience during periodontal therapy is so important.

Oraqix is a non-injectable, pH neutral anesthetic which is safe for use on inflamed tissue and can be used in conjunction with injectable anesthetics.

Patients with gingivitis and periodontal disease typically have inflamed, irritated tissue. Some manufacturers of competitive topical products limit dose to only 0.4ml of liquid or warn against use on large areas of denuded or inflamed tissue. Check prescribing information prior to purchase.
