Associate Professor Zurab Khabadze, Deputy Director of the RUDN Medical Institute and Head of the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry, told socialbites.ca that the main problem in import substitution of dental materials and instruments is domestic anesthetics.
“Various preservatives are added to anesthetics to keep them for a long time, and some of them can cause serious allergic reactions. “The body may not react when it first encounters the allergen, but when it encounters it again, it can cause a very serious reaction or even death,” he said.
When using a carpule of some household anesthetics (a hermetically sealed ampoule, closed at one end with a metal cap and at the other with a rubber stopper), the effect is rather short-term, which in time cannot be compared with imported analogues, so sometimes a second or even third We have to take the carpula. This may cause toxic reactions in the patient.
“That’s why anesthesia makes me so nervous. It is necessary to provide high quality anesthesia to the industry. So far, domestic analogues cannot be compared with foreign analogues,” said Khabadze.
