One clinical tip a day, for Malaysian dentists and DSAs
One tip a day. Two minutes, then back to the chair.
Every morning at seven in the morning, one thing worth knowing: a dose, a step, a rule of thumb, and the guideline it comes from. Free.
What a tip looks like
A tip
Lidocaine with adrenaline: 7 mg/kg, at most 320 mg The Lignospan Special SmPC gives an adult maximum of 7 mg/kg of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline, and 320 mg at most. The 320 mg ceiling follows from the adrenaline: 0.2 mg of it is 16 mL, or seven cartridges of 2.2 mL. A 2.2 mL cartridge of 2% lidocaine holds 44 mg, a 1.8 mL one 36 mg and a 1.7 mL one 34 mg. For a child, AAPD 2023 gives 4.4 mg/kg, at most 300 mg. Count the mL actually given rather than the cartridges.

For clinics and suppliers
Sponsored days open with the marketplace
A clinic with a shift to fill, or a seller with a lot to move, will be able to put the post under one morning's tip. It is paid through the same provider as buying and selling, so it opens with them.
