Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A dental cartridge for LA contains Nitrogen Bubble, 1-2mm in diameter and is present to prevent Oxygen from being trapped in the cartridge and potentially destroying the Vasopressor or vasoconstrictor, so this is the function of Nitrogen Bubble in the LA cartridge. Hence dental cartridges have their own significance in delivering LA drugs. AIM: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding the use of dental cartridges for LA by dental practitioners. OBJECTIVE: The study is done as a questionnaire survey among the practitioners in a region. The questionnaire is framed under the criteria of knowledge, attitude, preference, practice, advantages and disadvantages of dental cartridges for LA. RESULTS: Results shows that the knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding the use of dental cartridges for LA by dental practitioners is inadequate(70%). CONCLUSION: The study is concluded that vigorous dental awareness program needs to be initiated to address this concern.
