Lidocaine and propitocaine with vasoconstrictor are currently often used as local anesthetics in not only geriatric dentistry but also pediatric dentistry. In 1969, D. Bradley and N. Martin described that mepivacaine 3 % offered the advantage of being well tolerated and of providing satisfactory anesthesia of considerably shorter duration of effect. The purpose of this investigation was to clinically examine the efficacy of the Scandonest® cartridge 3 % . Among 80 cases, there were 53 complete responses with no pain (66.2%), 19 incompatibilities (23.8%), and 8 minor responses (10%) . No cases were judged to be ineffective. Among 59 cases in the restorative treatment group, there were 58 effective responses (98.1%) . and 1 minor response (1.9%) . Side effects were not observed in all cases. Based on these findings, the Scandonest® cartridge 3 % is considered to be effective for restorative treatment in pediatric dentistry.
