Practical Uses of Transderma Dental Base: Dental Base is able to provide an excellent vehicle for the administration of the following: Analgesics ( lidocaine, tetracaine) - when applied to the gums the anesthetic gel is often able to lessen or eliminate the need for injectable anesthetic therefore reducing cheek and tongue numbness. Pre surgical use of the analgesic gel with tetracaine reduces the risk of infections. Antibiotics (tetracycline, erythromycin) - for dental abscesses. When applied to a crown prior to mounting, antibiotic gels reduce inflammation and chance of infection after crowning procedure Antifungals (nystatin, clotrimazole) - for fungal related infections such as Lichen planus Antivirals (acyclovir) - lesions caused by herpes simples virus (HSV) Antihistamines ( diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine) - for many drug induced ulcerations Anti-inflammatories (triamcinolone, hydrocortisone,dexamethasone) - for simple lesions as well as sores. Dental Base is capable of forming a protective gel, a sort of bandage. Anesthetics (dyclonine, lidocaine) - mouth ulcerations such as recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), mild desensitizer for sensitive teeth or easy "gaggers" Humectants - ingredients for dry mouth Hemostatic agents - for dry socket treatments, allowing blood to clot normally Cosmetic teeth whitening (carbamide or hydrogen peroxide) - convenient with the use of gels. Transderma Dental Base is robust enough to take high percentages of whitening active ingredients. Compounded product can be applied directly into the oral cavity with the insertion of a tray filled with gel, simple yet yields dramatic results Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) - The burning sensation experienced by patients either on the tongue or entire mouth. Tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines or gabapentin may be incorporated into Dental Gel and administered to the patient for relief from BMS. |
