Brief Summary

Achieving profound anesthesia during endodontic treatment of mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis is still a demanding clinical challenge. therefore, the success Rate of 4 Injection protocols for Mandibular First Molars with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis was evaluated clinically in a randomized triple-blind trial

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Successful Injection Technique Assessed by Verbal Rating Scale (VRS)

    the patients were asked to rate their pain using a Verbal rating scale (VRS). Pain was scored as follows: Score 0, no pain; Score 1, mild pain; Score 2, moderate pain; or Score 3, severe pain. After rubber dam placement and during caries removal, access preparation and pulpectomy, success of the anesthetic technique was determined by NRS. The technique was considered as a 'success' when the patient reported no pain (VRS = 0 or 1) and as a 'failure' otherwise (vRS \>1).

    15 minutes from delivery of anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in the Heart Rate Before, During and After the Injection

    assessed from 2 min before to 5 min after injection (at 30-s intervals)

Study Arms (4)

IANB/inferior alveolar nerve block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients will be given standard IANB with 3.6 ml Articaine HCL 4% with 1:100,000 adrenaline (Artinibsa, Inibsa, Barcelona, Spain).

Procedure: local anesthesia

IANB+IO

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients will be given standard IANB plus an intra-osseous with 3.6 ml Articaine HCL 4% with 1:100,000 adrenaline (Artinibsa, Inibsa, Barcelona, Spain).

Procedure: local anesthesia

IANB+PDL

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients will be given standard IANB plus a PDL injection with 3.6 ml Articaine HCL 4% with 1:100,000 adrenaline (Artinibsa, Inibsa, Barcelona, Spain).

Procedure: local anesthesia

IANB+BI

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients will be given standard IANB plus a BI injection with 3.6 ml Articaine HCL 4% with 1:100,000 adrenaline (Artinibsa, Inibsa, Barcelona, Spain).

Procedure: local anesthesia
