[The use of Ornipressin in dental local anesthesia].

Blood-pressure and pulse-rate measurements, sensibility tests and tissue clearance measurements were performed in juvenile patients aged from 12 to 18 years to evaluate the clinical effects and side-effects of the new vasoconstrictor POR 8 (ornipressin) in ambulatory dental treatments. There were no significant differences in efficiency compared to adrenaline. Indications for the use of POR 8 are mentioned.
