Indication
Indications
SCANDONEST is indicated for the production of local anaesthesia for dental procedures by infiltration injection or nerve block.
Dosing
Dosage and administration
As with all local anaesthetics, the dose varies and depends upon the area to be anaesthetized, the vascularity of the tissues, individual tolerance and the technic used. Debilitated, elderly patients, acutely ill patients and children, should be given reduced doses commensurate with their age and physical status.
Adults
1 cartridge for routine work. This dose may be increased for long or difficult procedures or for mixed anaesthesia (block and local). As a rule, do not exceed 3 cartridges.
Children
6 to 14 years of age: usual dose: 1.35 mL. Do not exceed 2.7 mL
3 to 6 years of age: maximum recommended dose: 1.8 mL
The product is injected either locally or in the vicinity of a dental nerve trunk.
Any unused portion of a cartridge should be discarded.
