This study aimed to determine the efficacy of local anesthesia using Oraqix for gingival retraction in 35 healthy adult patients. The median visual analogue scale value was 20.5 +/- 24.2 (range: 0 to 81) for pain encountered during the procedure. In most patients, a lower verbal rating scale value corresponded with a lower visual analogue scale value. More than 80% of the operators evaluated the procedure as simple to perform, and more than 65% considered it useful compared with conventional injectable anesthesia. The results suggest that Oraqix is an attractive alternative to injectable anesthesia generally performed for gingival retraction at dental clinics.
