Summary
Anecdotal data suggest that the buffered form of the local anesthetic is more potent at equal
dosages, and a lower dosage of the buffered drug might be used with an effect equal to higher
dosage not buffered. Clinical data are needed to confirm these anecdotal data. No published
data exist comparing buffered local anesthetics at lower drug concentrations to current
dosages commonly used in dental and oral surgical procedures
