Comments on: Anesthesia buffering: Onpharma’s Onset http://www.dentalbuzz.com/2010/07/15/onset/ trends, innovations, and quirks of dentistry Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:55:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dr. Scott Pope http://www.dentalbuzz.com/2010/07/15/onset/#comment-74 Dr. Scott Pope Wed, 05 Jan 2011 22:56:56 +0000 http://www.dentalbuzz.com/?p=394#comment-74 Onpharma is presently taking and sending out orders across the U.S. for the Onset system. You can contact them directly at www.onpharma.com to find out the exact costs. In our office, I think it adds up to about $5 per patient. I save at least 10-15 minutes per procedure which is a big plus for everyone. Shorter, painless appointments for the patient and the ability to see more patients in a day for me and my staff. Win/win. I am already looking back and wondering how I could have practiced for so many years without this product and the amount of time that was wasted waiting for the anesthetic to work.

It reduces the acidity of the shot and helps the active ingredients take effect much quicker, am I right? It sounds wonderful if that's what it is, though I've always had lidocaine rubbed on my gums first and then the injection slowly started up and I've never had a problem with it. Most of the time I wasn't even aware that they had started the injection, and I've had to have a full root canal and four impacted wisdom teeth pulled. Still, if it helps people get the dental surgery they need, I'm all for it.

Several of my clients are using Onset with great results. As a practice management consultant, I have to say that as exciting as the science is, what is really awesome is the management potential. They are myriad benefits--because you can get to work almost immediately, it means less chair time for the patient, the potential for more patients seen in the day, increased production and real marketing potential...particularly for the early adopters.

For now, the buffering agent is only to be used with lidocaine. The formula to buffer other anesthetics will be published in the near future, I understand. We get deep, quick anesthesia, with no injection sting. Have not needed topical anesthetic, as patients don't feel the sting. I have had onset used on me with the same results.

Thank you for the thumbs up about this product! If there is a way for other dental practices to use this in their offices prior to FDA approval as you have, I hope that you can come back here to post contact information for interested dentists.

The Onset system buffers your local anesthetic, Lidocaine, raising the ph ideally to 7.5 resulting in a painless injection for the patient, eliminating the "bee sting". It also increasing the concentration of "active" anesthetic by approximately 6000 %, resulting in instantaneous anesthesia. No waiting time. We inject, painlessly, and start in on our procedure immediately. We save on average 10-15 minutes per procedure! The patients love it and enjoy less time in the dental chair. Can't say enough about how it is having such a positive impact on our practice.
