The Effectiveness of Buccal Infiltration Only Using Articaine for Routine Exodontia of Mandibular Molar: A Cross-Over Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 4
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (estimated)

• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial, is to test out the efficacy of using Articaine only as a local anesthesia as buccal infiltration to extract lower molar teeth. Study will be performed in patients visiting Riyadh Elm University clinics seeking extraction of lower molars bilaterally, in each visit one molar tooth will be extracted using Ariticaine and the second visit with Lidocaine, pain level will be monitored and documented. This study may be helpful in providing scientific information to the oral maxillofacial surgeons which will assist them in choosing the best local anesthetic agent, and possibly substituting using inferior alveolar nerve block with infiltration only when extracting the mandibular posterior teeth.

Detailed description

This is a double-blind, randomized clinical trial, which will involve 40 patients visiting the out-patient department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. For each patient, one mandibular molar will be extracted from right as well as left side, with one side being anesthetized using 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine and other with 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine buccal infiltration only. Evaluation and comparison will be done on the basis of pain prevalence exhibited by the patients while extraction.
