Summary

A two-tailed randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms is aimed to compare success proportions of the articaine and lidocaine groups in children with irreversible pulpitis under 4 years. The participants will be randomly assigned into two equal groups (82 children per group): the control group will receive lidocaine and the intervention group will receive the articaine local anesthesia. The direct observation tool FLACC was considered to assess pain severity. The behavior was assessed during pulpectomy procedures using the Frankl behavior rating scale (FBRS)
