If you give injections without first buffering your anesthetic cartridge, your patients' bodies must raise the pH of the local anesthetic toward physiologic (~7.4) before they will achieve pulpal analgesia. This means that without buffering, standard dental cartridges will make you, your staff, and your patients wait while the patients’ bodies work to raise the pH of the anesthetic towards physiologic.
If you would rather go right to work, buffering your cartridges at chairside using Onset raises the pH of your anesthetic immediately before the injection, eliminating the wait time and allowing you to go right to work. The Onset System makes buffering simple, convenient and inexpensive at under $15 per day.
ADDED BENEFITS OF BUFFERING WITH ONSET: MORE RELIABLE & PREDICTABLE ANALGESIA
By removing the patient’s physiology from the process of raising the pH of each local anesthetic injection, the Onset Buffering System makes your local anesthetic more reliable and predictable, which helps keep your practice on time and on schedule.
