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