Brief Summary

Articaine is a common local anesthetic used in oral surgery and belongs to the amide group of it has fast onset with little side effects. Bupivacaine is preferred in prolonged surgical procedures with its long duration of action and residual analgesic effect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anesthetic, analgesic, hemodynamic effects of 4% articaine and 0.5% bupivacaine in extraction of impacted mandibular third molar teeth in intraoperative and postoperative periods. Hemodynamic parameters, onset of anesthetic action, total amount, intraoperative comfort, intraoperative bleeding, duration of postoperative anesthesia and analgesia, rescue analgesic use, maximum incisal opening and postoperative pain at 6th, 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours and 7th day using a visual analogue scale be evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Hemodynamic Changes

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, cardiac rate and blood oxygen saturation level were monitored using a patient monitor before beginning of the surgery (T1), 1 min later following the anesthesia (T2) and immediately after the surgery (T3).

    60 minutes

  • Postoperative pain

    Postoperative pain was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10 and patients were instructed to complete the scale in 6th, 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours and 7th day postoperatively.

    1 week

  • Onset of anesthetic action

  • Operation time

  • Quality of the anesthesia

Study Arms (2)

Articaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon and monitored by the same person. 4 % articaine with 1:200.000 epinephrine was administered to the patients in regional block of the inferior alveolar nerve technique at the first surgery. At the second intervention, patients received the other anesthetic solution which was not used at the first intervention. 1.5 cc of the solution was used to anesthetize the inferior alveolar and lingual nerve and the remaining 0.5 cc was infiltrated to anesthetize the buccal nerve.

Procedure: Impacted tooth surgery

Bupivacaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon and monitored by the same person. % 0.5 bupivacaine without epinephrine was administered to the patients in regional block of the inferior alveolar nerve technique at the first surgery. At the second intervention, patients received the other anesthetic solution which was not used at the first intervention. 1.5 cc of the solution was used to anesthetize the inferior alveolar and lingual nerve and the remaining 0.5 cc was infiltrated to anesthetize the buccal nerve.

Procedure: Impacted tooth surgery
