The Citoject is a type of periodontal intraligamental syringe gun used in dentistry to administer local anesthesia directly into the periodontal ligament (PDL). This method is often used for procedures such as scaling, root planing, or extractions. The syringe delivers anesthetic directly into the PDL, where it can quickly numb the target tooth and surrounding tissues without affecting other parts of the mouth, offering more localized and effective pain relief. Key Features of the Citoject Syringe: Intraligamental Injection: The syringe is designed to deliver anesthesia into the periodontal ligament space, which is the connective tissue between the tooth root and the bone. Precision and Control: The Citoject syringe provides controlled injection of the anesthetic, helping minimize discomfort for the patient. Minimal Spread of Anesthesia: Because the anesthetic is administered directly into the periodontal ligament, it has less impact on surrounding tissues, making it a good choice when a localized anesthetic effect is needed. Needle Design: The needle used with the Citoject syringe is fine and thin, which helps reduce discomfort during injection. This tool is particularly useful in situations where traditional methods of anesthesia (such as a block injection) might not be as effective or where there is a need for rapid, localized numbing for a specific tooth or area.
