Thank you for your emails and questions about using Septocaine (from Septodont; articaine) for local anesthetic on lower first and second molars in response to my last video.

In this new video, in less than two minutes, I will explain my technique for using Septocaine 4% 1:100,000 epi PDL infiltration on mandibular first and second molars.

Please share your best clinical techniques with us, so we can become better together!
