is indicated for adjunctive treatment and for the temporary relief of symptoms associated with oral inflammatory lesions and ulcerative lesions resulting from trauma.

Press a small dab (about ¼ inch) to the lesion until a thin film develops. A larger quantity may be required for coverage of some lesions. For optimal results use only enough to coat the lesion with a thin film.

Do not rub in. Attempting to spread this preparation may result in granular, gritty sensation and cause it to crumble. After application, however, a smooth, slippery film develops.

The preparation should be applied at bedtime to permit steroid contact with the lesion throughout the night. Depending on the severity of symptoms, it may be necessary to apply the preparation two or three times a day, preferably after meals. If significant repair or regeneration has not occurred in seven days, further investigation is advisable.

The following local adverse reactions may occur with corticosteroid-containing dental pastes: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, blistering or peeling not present prior to therapy, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the oral mucosa, secondary infection, and atrophy of the oral mucosa. Also, see PRECAUTIONS for potential effects of systemic absorption.

Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of Triamcinolone Acetonide Dental Paste USP, 0.1 % in children is unknown. Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical corticosteroid­ induced HPA axis suppression and Cushing's Syndrome than mature patients because of a larger skin surface area to body weight ratio.

Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of children.

Triamcinolone Acetonide Dental Paste USP, 0.1% is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparations; it is also contraindicated in the presence of fungal, viral, or bacterial infections of the mouth or throat.
