One of the most striking experiences was with an 8-year-old patient, where I performed occlusal fillings on J and T without using a needle. The child, who admitted to usually being anxious at the dentist, was unusually calm and cooperative throughout the procedure. The reason? No needle was needed, thanks to Orlicaine. This experience underscores the potential of Orlicaine in pediatric dentistry, where needle phobia can often be a significant barrier to treatment.
The positive feedback hasn’t just come from the patients. My hygienists have expressed enthusiasm about Orlicaine as well. One of them mentioned that using the liquid Orlicaine for SRP was "amazing," emphasizing how it made the procedure much easier for both the patient and the practitioner.
Two different hygienists in my practice used Orlicaine liquid for scaling and root planing (SRP). Both experiences were remarkably similar—no pain, no bad taste, and complete comfort for the patients. What stood out to me was that neither patient even considered asking for an injection. This level of comfort is rare with topical anesthetics, which makes Orlicaine a game-changer in SRP procedures.
The evaluation of Orlicaine by six lead general dentists and their hygienists yielded overwhelmingly positive results, indicating its effectiveness for various dental procedures, efficient delivery method, and favorable cost compared to competitors.
Patient stated he liked it way better than the last time when he got a shot!!
The feedback obtained from the evaluation of Orlicaine by general dentists provides valuable insights into its real-world performance and acceptability within dental practice settings. The unanimous positive feedback regarding its effectiveness, delivery method efficiency, and cost-effectiveness suggests that Orlicaine holds promise as a viable option for dental anesthesia.
Biggest fear was a shot! There was no need for a shot with Orlicaine used.
Surpassed other comparable products available to the market. More effective and less expense.
It has also helped in achieving the pain free injection as a topical before local anesthesia injections. I'm glad to have orlicaine as another tool to help provide excellent pain free care at the office.
Orlicaine is a great addition to my practice. Orlicaine has been effective by itself in getting patients comfortable for SRP treatment without injections.
We also use Orlicaine as a pre-anesthesia topical to alleviate patient anxiety from the injection. Many of our patients say that they don't feel the needles at all and that has helped them to come back and finished the dental treatment.
We use it on patients that need deep cleanings or implant delivery to help reduce discomfort.
Orlicaine is convenient and allows assistant to apply anesthetic; more potent and longer lasting than others.
