Production of local anesthesia by jet injection: A clinical study

Abstract A clinical survey of 500 cases indicates that the SyriJet Mark II jet injector is useful in providing topical anesthesia in all areas of the oral cavity. However, it was found not to be applicable for anesthetizing the posterior superior alveolar, inferior alveolar, or incisive nerves.

A clinical evaluation of innovar and innostat for outpatient sedation in dentistry

Abstract An open study was conducted to compare the relative efficacies of Innovar and Innostat in the production of preoperative sedation for dental outpatients. Parameters examined included a global evaluation by the operator, treatment observation, including subjective pain, mental attitude, patient awareness, motor performance, eyelid position, and ability to communicate. Vital signs were monitored throughout all procedures and remained stable and within normal limits in all instances. Although the drugs proved both safe and effective during surgical procedures, bothersome postoperative complications contraindicate their use in dental outpatients.
