Dental Cartridge




A dental cartridge is a small, pre-filled cylindrical container used in dentistry to deliver local anesthetics. It is commonly made of glass or plastic and is designed to fit into a dental syringe. The cartridge contains anesthetic solutions such as lidocaine, articaine, or mepivacaine, often combined with epinephrine to control bleeding and prolong the anesthetic effect.

Key Features:

1. Pre-Sterilized: Ensures safe and hygienic use.


2. Dosage Control: Each cartridge contains a specific amount of anesthetic, typically 1.8 mL or 2.2 mL.


3. Ease of Use: Designed for quick and accurate administration.



Common Uses:

Numbing a specific area during dental procedures like fillings, extractions, or root canals.

Reducing pain during periodontal treatments.
