Septanest with Adrenaline - dental anesthesia

Septanest 1/100000 - solution for injection in cartridges.
Pharmacological properties: When administered by injection near sensory nerve branches, articaine blocks the reversal of painful nerve sensations.

Adrenaline added to the solution slows down the passage of articaine into the general circulation and thus ensures that the active tissue concentration is maintained.

Anesthesia occurs quickly (in 1-3 minutes). The anesthesia is deep and its effect lasts 60-75 minutes.

Quantitative and qualitative composition for one 1.7 ml carpule:

  • Articaine hydrochloride 68,000 mg
  • Epinephrine tartrate: 0.030 mg epinephrine bitartrate,

  • cavity preparation, biopulpectomy;
  • Maxillofacial Surgery. Surgical interventions at the level of the jawbone when they require local anemia or prolonged anesthesia. Interventions at the level of the gum mucosa.

The duration of Septanest anesthesia, during which the intervention can be performed, is 30-45 minutes.

This drug, which does not contain a preservative such as parahydroxybenzoate, can be administered to patients susceptible to allergic reactions to parahydroxybenzoates or chemically related substances.

How quickly does the effect occur and how long does it last?

The drug begins to act almost immediately – 1-3 minutes after administration. The duration of action largely depends on the individual characteristics of the patient’s body - on average 30-45 minutes. In order to prolong the effect, an additional dose of the solution can be administered. The maximum concentration is observed after approximately 17 minutes, the half-life is 25 minutes. The active substances are completely eliminated from the blood 3 hours after administration of the drug.


The effect begins almost immediately

Contraindications

This drug should not be used in the following cases : children under 4 years of age . Serious cardiovascular disease (such as recent myocardial infarction), heart rhythm disturbances.

Revealed allergy to local anesthetic drugs. Patients undergoing treatment with MAO inhibitors or cyclic antidepressants.

Cardiovascular diseases: arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbance), heart pathology, coronary heart disease, hypertension, coronary insufficiency. Patients suffering from hyperthyroidism, tremors of the limbs, nervousness, sweat, gastrointestinal disorders, weight loss while maintaining appetite, excitability, increased feelings of fear, fixed gaze, tachycardia, heart rhythm disturbances.

Attention athletes! The drug contains an active substance that may cause a positive reaction during anti-doping control.

What adverse reactions may there be?

"Septanest" is well tolerated by patients and usually does not cause adverse reactions. However, before using it, the doctor must take into account the current condition of the person and the presence of chronic pathologies in his anamnesis. In rare cases, an anesthetic with adrenaline may cause the following undesirable effects:

  • excessive decrease in blood pressure with the risk of collapse and anaphylactic shock,
  • headache, weakness and dizziness,
  • disorders of the visual system, including double vision,
  • nausea, vomiting, stomach pain,
  • disturbances in the functioning of the cardiovascular system, including decreased heart rate,
  • dermatitis, swelling and rhinitis as a result of individual intolerance to one or more components included in the composition,
  • increased levels of sodium and magnesium in the blood.

The risk of side effects and the intensity of their manifestations depend on the amount of solution administered. If undesirable reactions occur, all necessary measures will be urgently taken to remove the active substances from the body and relieve acute symptoms.

Dosage - instructions Septanest 1/100000

Adults

For most current interventions, infiltration of 1.7 ml of SEPTANEST WITH ADRENALINE 1/100000 is sufficient. In all cases, the injection must be carried out slowly (1 ml/min.) - for infiltration at the level of the interdental septum, the amount of the drug from 0.3 ml to 0.5 ml is sufficient. Do not exceed the equivalent of 7 mg of articaine hydrochloride per 1 kg of body weight, which corresponds to six standard 1.7 ml carpules for a patient who weighs 60 kg. The duration of anesthesia during which the intervention can be performed is 30-45 minutes.

Children

Do not use in children under 4 years of age. The amount of injected solution depends on the age of the child and the degree of complexity of the intervention. Do not exceed the equivalent of 7 mg of articaine hydrochloride per 1 kg of weight.

What kind of drug is this - general information

We are talking about a high-quality anesthetic solution, which has been used in dental practice for quite some time. Manufactured by the French company Septodont. Until recently, the drug had exclusively analgesic properties and was produced without adrenaline, but later epinephrine (synthetic adrenaline) was added to its composition, a component of vasoconstrictor action. This made it possible to prolong the anesthetic effect and increase its reliability.

Thus, the composition includes two main active ingredients - articaine and epinephrine. The product is used for medical procedures of varying degrees of complexity, including simple surgical interventions and patch surgeries.

Classic interventions:

  • simple extractions, without complications;
  • multiple extractions;
  • extraction of unerupted teeth, trepanation;
  • resection of the root apex, cyst removal, alveolectomy;
  • cavity preparation, biopulpectomy;
  • Maxillofacial Surgery. Surgical interventions at the level of the jawbone when they require local anemia or prolonged anesthesia.

Interventions at the level of the gum mucosa.

The duration of anesthesia during which the intervention can be performed is 15-30 minutes.

This drug does not contain a preservative such as parahydroxybenzoate and can be administered to patients susceptible to allergic reactions to parahydroxybenzoates or chemically related substances.

Is it possible to use Septanest during pregnancy?

The drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy. In 2013, clinical studies were conducted that proved the teratogenicity and fetotoxicity of the composition, which can be dangerous when used in the first and last trimesters. If there are no other options, Septanest should be used with extreme caution, as well as subject to mandatory follow-up monitoring of the condition of the patient and the fetus.


The drug should not be taken during pregnancy

The active ingredients of the anesthetic are able to penetrate not only through the placental barrier, but also into breast milk. Therefore, the drug is also not recommended for use during breastfeeding. If you still had to use the solution, after its administration you should refrain from feeding for 3 hours and express milk.

Contraindications

This drug should not be used in the following cases: children under 4 years of age . Serious cardiovascular disease (such as recent myocardial infarction), heart rhythm disturbances.

Revealed allergy to local anesthetic drugs. Patients undergoing treatment with MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants.

Cardiovascular diseases: arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbance), heart pathology, coronary heart disease, hypertension, coronary insufficiency. Patients suffering from hyperthyroidism: tremors of the limbs, nervousness, sweat, gastrointestinal disorders, weight loss while maintaining appetite, excitability, increased feelings of fear, fixed gaze, tachycardia, heart rhythm disturbances.

Attention athletes! The drug contains an active substance that may cause a positive reaction during anti-doping control.

Drugs with similar effects

Septanest analogues are usually interchangeable because they have a similar composition. However, each has its own application characteristics, so the choice of the appropriate product remains up to the specialist. Among the popular anesthetics similar in action to Septanest, experts identify the following drugs:

  • "Artifrin"
  • "Artikain"
  • "Artifrin"
  • "Bupinecaine"
  • "Ubistezin" etc.


"Ubistezin" is a high-quality modern anesthetic.
So, “Bupinecaine” is cheaper. It contains the same active ingredients, but in a different combination. This drug is also widely used for epidural and spinal anesthesia, that is, its scope is much wider. But “Artifrin” has a less pronounced anesthetic effect, therefore it is not used when working with inflamed soft tissues and in surgical practice.

Dosage - instructions Septanest 1/200000

Adults

For most current interventions, infiltration is sufficient, 1.7 ml of SEPTANEST WITH ADRENALINE 1/200000. In all cases, the injection must be carried out slowly (1 ml/min.) - for infiltration at the level of the interdental septum, the amount of the drug from 0.3 ml to 0.5 ml is sufficient. Do not exceed the equivalent of 7 mg of articaine hydrochloride per 1 kg of body weight, which corresponds to six standard 1.7 ml cartridges for a patient who weighs 60 kg. The duration of anesthesia during which the intervention can be performed is 15-30 minutes.

Children

Do not use in children under 4 years of age. The amount of injected solution depends on the age of the child and the degree of complexity of the intervention. Do not exceed the equivalent of 7 mg of articaine chloride hydrate per 1 kg of weight.

Indications for use

"Septanest" is used in dentistry for infiltration and conduction anesthesia during standard medical procedures and operations of varying complexity. Among the main indications for its use, experts highlight the following intervention options:

  • removal of 1-2 or more teeth,
  • treatment of caries and pulpitis (inflammation of the neurovascular bundle inside the tooth),
  • depulpation – partial or complete removal of a nerve,
  • bone surgeries, including removal of affected areas due to osteomyelitis,
  • implantation,
  • endodontic treatment – ​​treatment and filling of root canals,
  • operations on the mucous membrane, etc.


The solution is used for tooth extraction

“My doctor told me that Septanest is one of the best anesthetics, and I completely trust her. She explained that there is almost no bleeding with it, so it is very comfortable to work with. And of course the effect is stronger than other drugs. Personally, I never had any side effects, any procedure was painless. And they removed the nerve and treated the canals. I was terribly worried at first, but then after several procedures I completely calmed down. Now I’m not afraid to treat my teeth at all.”

Valeria Gapak, from correspondence on the forum www.32top.ru

The drug is widely used both in therapeutic treatment and in prosthetics and implantation. It has established itself as a high-quality, effective and proven product that guarantees complete painlessness and maximum comfort during the procedure.

Storage conditions

Septanest should be stored in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of no more than 25 °C. The solution should not be frozen, nor should it be left in direct sunlight or near heating sources.

Local anesthesia is a reliable and proven method that allows dental procedures of any complexity to be performed completely without pain and with maximum comfort for the patient. "Septanest" is one of the representatives of this category of drugs, the effectiveness and safety of which has been repeatedly proven clinically and in practice.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: local anesthetic + α- and β adrenomimetic ATC: N.01.BB58 Articaine in combination with other drugs

Pharmacodynamics

A combined drug whose effect is determined by its constituent components. Articaine is a local anesthetic of the amide type of the thiafene group. Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor. Septanest with adrenaline has a local anesthetic effect and has an analgesic effect. The effect of the drug begins quickly - after 1-3 minutes. The duration of anesthesia is at least 45 minutes. The drug is characterized by good tissue tolerance and minimal vasoconstrictor effect.

Due to the low content of epinephrine in the drug, its effect on the cardiovascular system is weak: there is almost no increase in blood pressure and heart rate.

Pharmacokinetics

Articaine, when administered submucosally in the oral cavity, has a high diffusion ability. Protein binding is 95%. The active substances penetrate the placental barrier to a minimal extent, are practically not excreted in breast milk, and the half-life is 25 minutes.

Directions for use and doses

For uncomplicated extraction of teeth in the upper jaw in the absence of inflammation, 1.7 ml of the drug (for each tooth) is usually injected into the submucosa in the area of ​​the transitional fold on the vestibular side. In some cases, additional administration of 1 to 1.7 ml of the drug may be required to achieve complete anesthesia. In most cases, there is no need to perform painful injections on the palatal side. For anesthesia for palatal incisions and suturing to create a palatal depot, about 0.1 ml of the drug per injection is required. When removing several adjacent teeth, the number of injections can usually be limited. In the case of removal of mandibular premolars in the absence of inflammation, mandibular anesthesia can be dispensed with, since infiltration anesthesia provided by injections of 1.7 ml per tooth is usually sufficient. If this route fails to achieve the desired effect, an additional injection of 1-1.7 ml of the drug should be performed into the submucosa in the area of ​​the transitional fold of the mandible on the vestibular side. If in this case it was not possible to achieve complete anesthesia, it is necessary to block the mandibular nerve.

To prepare a cavity or prepare a crown for any tooth, with the exception of lower molars, administration of the drug in a dose of 0.5 to 1.7 ml for each tooth according to the type of infiltration anesthesia from the vestibular side is indicated. The exact amount depends on the desired depth and duration of the procedure. When performing one treatment procedure, adults can be administered up to 7 mg of articaine per 1 kg of body weight. The duration of anesthesia during which the intervention can be performed is 30-45 minutes.

Side effects

The drug is usually well tolerated by patients, however, the following side effects may develop:

From the side of the central nervous system: depending on the dose used, cases of impaired consciousness up to its loss have been described; breathing problems until it stops; muscle tremors; involuntary muscle twitching; sometimes progressing to generalized seizures; nausea, vomiting.

From the side of the organ of vision: occasionally - blurred vision, transient blindness, diplopia.

From the cardiovascular system: moderate hemodynamic disturbances, manifested in a decrease in blood pressure, tachycardia or bradycardia, depression of cardiovascular activity, which in extreme cases can lead to collapse and cardiac arrest, which threatens the patient’s life.

Allergic reactions: swelling or inflammation at the injection site; in other areas - redness of the skin, itching, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, angioedema of varying severity (including swelling of the upper and/or lower lip and/or neck, glottis with difficulty swallowing, urticaria, difficulty breathing). All these phenomena can progress to the development of anaphylactic shock.

Local reactions: swelling or inflammation at the injection site. Other: headaches are often observed, probably associated with the presence of epinephrine in the drug. Other side effects caused by the action of epinephrine (tachycardia, arrhythmia, increased blood pressure) are extremely rare. Very rarely, accidental intravascular injection can lead to the development of ischemic areas at the injection site, sometimes progressing to tissue necrosis.

Overdose

When the first signs of a side or toxic effect (dizziness, restlessness, impaired consciousness) appear, it is necessary to immediately stop the injection and place the patient in a horizontal position. Careful monitoring of hemodynamic parameters (pulse, blood pressure) and airway patency is necessary. Even if the symptoms do not seem severe, you should prepare everything necessary for an intravenous infusion and, at the very least, perform a venipuncture. Depending on the degree of respiratory impairment, oxygen should be given, artificial respiration (mouth-to-nose) and, if necessary, endotracheal intubation with controlled ventilation. The use of centrally acting analeptic drugs is contraindicated. For involuntary muscle twitching or generalized convulsions, intravenous administration of short-acting or ultra-short-acting barbiturates is indicated. Administration should be carried out slowly, under constant monitoring of hemodynamics and respiration. At the same time, intravenous fluid infusion should be administered through a pre-installed cannula. The patient should also be given oxygen.

In case of tachycardia, bradycardia or a marked decrease in blood pressure, the patient should be placed in a horizontal position with legs elevated. In case of severe circulatory disorders and shock, the injection of the drug should be stopped. Provide the patient with a horizontal position with elevated legs, perform oxygen inhalation and intravenous infusion of balanced electrolyte and plasma-substituting solutions, and administer glucocorticoids intravenously (250-1000 mg of methylprednisolone). In case of threatening vascular collapse and increasing bradycardia, administer intravenously 25-100 mcg of adrenaline (0.25-1.0 ml of a solution with a concentration of 100 mcg/ml). The administration is carried out slowly, under the control of pulse and blood pressure. Do not administer more than 100 mcg of adrenaline (1 ml of solution once). When administering additional amounts of adrenaline, it should be added to the infusion solution. The rate of infusion should correlate with heart rate and blood pressure levels.

Severe forms of tachycardia and tachyarrhythmia can be eliminated by the use of antiarrhythmic drugs, however, non-selective beta-blockers should not be used. In these cases, it is necessary to use oxygen and monitor hemodynamic parameters.

If blood pressure increases in patients with arterial hypertension, peripheral vasodilators should be used, if necessary.

Interaction

The hypertensive effect of sympathomimetic amines such as epinephrine can be enhanced by tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. This type of interaction has been described for epinephrine and norepinephrine when used as vasoconstrictors at concentrations of 1:25,000 and 1:80,000, respectively.

The drug should not be prescribed during treatment with non-selective beta-blockers, since in this case there is a high risk of developing a hypertensive crisis and severe bradycardia.

special instructions

Septanest with adrenaline contains sulfites, which can increase the anaphylactic reaction. Hypersensitivity to sulfites is more often observed in patients with bronchial asthma.

The drug cannot be administered intravenously. Do not inject into the area of ​​inflammation. In patients with cholinosterase deficiency, the drug can be used only for urgent indications, since in these patients there is a possibility of prolongation and sometimes increased effect of the drug.

In patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system (chronic heart failure, pathology of the coronary vessels, angina pectoris, rhythm disturbances, a history of myocardial infarction, arterial hypertension), cerebrovascular disorders, with a history of paralysis, chronic bronchitis, enphysema, diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, and also in the presence of severe anxiety, it is advisable to use a drug containing a smaller amount of epinephrine.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles. Wed and mech.: Special tests did not reveal a clear effect of the drug on operator activity. However, due to the fact that the patient’s preoperative anxiety and stress caused by surgical intervention can affect the effectiveness of the activity, the dentist must individually, in each case, decide on the patient’s permission to drive vehicles or operate machinery.

Types of anesthesia in dentistry - infiltration, conduction, application

As we said above, local anesthesia can be application, infiltration or conduction. Topical anesthesia in dentistry is used to numb the oral mucosa by applying 10% lidocaine in the form of a gel or spray. This type of anesthesia is especially often used in children to pre-numb the place where the needle is inserted. Lidocaine spray is often sprayed onto the root of the tongue in patients with an increased gag reflex.

Infiltration anesthesia in dentistry is most often performed during the treatment and removal of any teeth in the upper jaw, as well as in the area of ​​the anterior teeth of the lower jaw. In this case, the injection is carried out in the transitional fold zone in the projection of the root of the tooth that we will remove or treat (the transitional fold is the zone of transition of the tightly attached mucous membrane into the mobile mucous membrane of the cheek or lip). After the anesthetic is introduced into the tissue, an infiltrate is formed in them, from which the anesthetic quickly penetrates into the bone tissue of the jaw.

Infiltration anesthesia on the upper jaw –

Conductive anesthesia - in dentistry it is most often used to anesthetize 6-7-8 lower teeth (less often than other teeth). This is due to the fact that the bone tissue of the lower jaw is denser and thicker - especially in the last teeth. And therefore, if we perform infiltration anesthesia on the lower molars, the anesthetic simply will not penetrate into the bone and, accordingly, the patient will experience pain. And in this case, conduction anesthesia (mandibular or torus) will help us - the injection is made into the nerve trunk, passing approximately in the middle of the inner surface of the branch of the lower jaw.

Infiltration and conduction anesthesia (video 1-2) –

How long does it take for dental anesthesia to last? The effect of infiltration anesthesia on the upper jaw occurs within a few minutes and lasts from 15 to 45 minutes (this depends on the type of anesthetic and the concentration of the vasoconstrictor in it). The onset of anesthesia is signaled by the appearance of numbness in the cheek or upper lip. The effect of conduction anesthesia on the lower jaw occurs in 5-10 minutes, but it can last from 1 hour to several hours. The following symptoms will tell us about the onset of anesthesia - there must be pronounced numbness in half of the lower lip, as well as the tip of the tongue.

Important: if after conduction anesthesia on the lower jaw, the numbness of half the lip is weak or completely absent, then the doctor missed and was unable to remove the anesthetic near the inferior alveolar nerve (this nerve runs on the inner surface of the branch of the lower jaw, providing pain sensitivity to the teeth on this side). And in this case, you should either ask the doctor to repeat the anesthesia, otherwise the treatment will be painful.

Yes, and I would like to note that in most cases, poor anesthesia is associated only with doctor errors, i.e. with violation of the technique of conduction anesthesia. This type of anesthesia is the most difficult during a general dental appointment, and not all doctors confidently perform conduction anesthesia. However, there are a number of patients in whom it is impossible to achieve good anesthesia in principle. These include patients who abuse analgesics, as well as alcohol and drugs.
