A new approach to traditional lidocaine

This content is sponsored by Septodont, Inc.

Septodont Inc., a global leader in dental anesthetics, introduces Flavalta lidocaine hydrochloride 2% with epinephrine 1:100,000, the first and only lidocaine formulation with flavoring agents. Flavalta brings a new approach to traditional lidocaine, which was first introduced in 1948.

Flavalta contains sodium saccharin, a nonnutritive artificial sweetener, and L-serine, a nonessential amino acid known for its flavor-enhancing properties. Both sodium saccharin and L-serine are approved by the FDA for use as sweetening and flavor-enhancing agents in foods, beverages, and drugs.

Flavalta delivers reliable, predictable anesthetic performance with the following features and benefits:

  • Fast, reliable onset:

    • Infiltration: Average onset in less than two minutes

    • Nerve block: Average onset in two to four minutes

  • Clinically effective duration:

    • Approximately 60 minutes for infiltration procedures

    • Approximately 90 minutes of pulpal anesthesia for nerve blocks

  • No methylparaben: Formulated without methylparaben to reduce the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients.

  • Latex-free components: Contains no natural rubber latex, supporting safer use across a broader patient population.

  • Terminally sterilized cartridges: Help ensure a high level of sterility for every injection.

Flavalta represents the next generation of dental anesthetics by combining the proven performance of lidocaine with flavoring agents.
