Mepivacaine is a local anesthetic of the amide-type. Mepivacaine is used in any infiltration and local anesthesia. Mepivacaine has a reasonably rapid onset (more rapid than that of procaine) and medium duration of action (shorter than that of procaine)

Mepivacaine was originally synthesized in Sweden at the laboratory in 1956. It is supplied as the hydrochloride salt of the racemate, which consists of R(-)-mepivacaine and S(+)-mepivacaine in equal proportions. These two enantiomers have markedly different pharmacokinetic properties.

What anesthetics are commonly used in dental implant surgery?

Patients without hypertension generally choose articaine adrenaline.

However, there are many problems with articaine. In recent years, the production and supply of articaine have not kept up, and the price has risen rapidly in a few years

Lidocaine, Mepivacaine, etc, and so on are often chosen now.

The toxicity and duration of different anesthetics are different, and doctors will choose according to the actual situation.

In case of serious hemostatic problems, it needs to be used with 1% diluted adrenaline (adrenaline has the effect of raising blood pressure, which cannot be used by patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension can use anesthetics alone, but can't use articaine); Patients with partial anesthetic tolerance or other reasons should be given nerve block.
