A Combination that Delivers Speed and Duration

Oraqix, a combination of lidocaine and prilocaine, is uniquely combined with a patented, thermosetting system to deliver pain relief exactly where it’s needed. Combining both of these amides into a single treatment provides dual benefits that are important for creating an appropriate anesthetizing effect--fast onset and a duration long enough to work for the entire treatment.

Unique Thermosetting Characteristic

As a liquid at room temperature, Oraqix is effectively applied into periodontal pockets targeted for treatment. Once administered, however, Oraqix thickens at body temperature into an elastic gel. The gel remains in place while the anesthetic takes effect and is removed once scaling is initiated. Significantly, the anesthetizing effects cannot be washed away with water.
