Study aim
-
Determine success rate of anesthetics efficiency of 1.8 ml: inferior alveolar nerve block with Lidocaine, mental nerve block with Articaine, infiltration with Articaine, in irreversible pulpitis of mandibular canines
-
Design
-
Randomized, parallel group trial with blinded outcome assessment. Randomisation will be written on pieces of paper and kept in sealed envelopes.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study will be performed by 2 dentists in a private clinic in Rafsanjan. After the anesthesia injection, patients and the operator are unaware (double-blind). patients are instructed to report any pain at any stage of treatment in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) form.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion citeria: Healthy adult patients 18 to 60 years old having mandibular canine with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and normal periapical radiograph appearance
Exclusion criteria: Increasing the width of the periodontal ligament or radiolucency in radiography; canine teeth sensitive to pressure; sensitivity to articaine 4% or lidocaine 2% or epinephrine; American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) III, IV patients; pregnancy or breastfeeding; Addicted patients
-
Intervention groups
-
In the first group, infraalveolar nerve block with 1.8 ml of 2% lidocaine solution, the second group with mental nerve block with 1.8 ml of 4% articaine solution, and the third group with mandibular canine infiltration with 1.8 ml of 4% articaine solution. 10 minutes after the anesthetic injection, the patient is asked about the numbness of the lower lip, and if the answer is negative, he is excluded from the study, and if the answer is positive, the tooth will be isolate by a rubberdam, the caries will be removed. The access cavity is prepared and instrumentation will be performed.
