Comparative Assessment of Mental/Incisive and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Anesthesia in Root Canal Treatment of Mandibular Premolars

Anesthetic Effectiveness of Mental/incisive Nerve Block Versus Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Mandibular I. and II. Premolars with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: a Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 120 (actual)
• Sponsor: Cukurova University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to systematically compare the pain scores and anesthesia efficacy of IANB and MNB in the treatment of symptomatic mandibular first and second premolars. This study aims to address gaps in current evidence and clarify whether these anesthesia techniques differ in effectiveness and patient experience during endodontic procedures. The hypotheses include: (i) no difference in pain perception between IANB and MNB, (ii) no difference between first and second premolars with IANB, and (iii) no difference between first and second premolars with MNB.

Conditions

• Mandibular Nerve

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	inferior alveolar nerve block with 4% articaine	A single ampoule of 4% articaine was administered to a cohort of patients presenting with irreversible pulpitis in the first or second mandibular premolars, designated for Inferior Alveolar Block anesthesia via the mandibular foramen.
OTHER	Mental/Incisive Nerve Block (%4 Articaine)	A single ampoule of 4% articaine was administered to a cohort of patients presenting with irreversible pulpitis in the first or second mandibular premolars, designated for Mental or Incisive Nerve Block anesthesia via the mental foramen.
