Clinical Outcomes Maxilla: Buffered 1% Lidocaine vs. Non-buffered 2% Lidocaine

Summary

Anecdotal data suggest that the buffered form of the local anesthetic is more potent at equal dosages, and a lower dosage of the buffered drug might be used with an effect equal to higher dosage not buffered. Clinical data are needed to confirm these anecdotal data. No published data exist comparing buffered local anesthetics at lower drug concentrations to current dosages commonly used in dental and oral surgical procedures
