The advantage of using articaine for children is its ability to diffuse through bone; however, an increase in anesthetic volume is needed for infiltration injections compared to nerve block techniques in children
A) True
B) False
B
Explanation: B) Articaine is believed by some to be more effective in its ability to diffuse through bone compared to other amide anesthetic solutions. Articaine is available only in a 4% concentration. It is twice as concentrated when compared to 2% lidocaine. An appropriate volume reduction is required to avoid toxicity. The consideration is identical regardless of the technique, infiltration versus nerve block.
