NCT05306470

Brief Summary

Local anesthesia in the oral cavity is a pain full experience for the patient. All means should be made to reduce the pain and anxiety of the patient for needle stick procedures. My study aims in elevating the pain experienced by the patient during this procedure by using either cold application with ethyl chloride or 5% lidocaine gel.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post oral local anesthetic infiltration pain

    Post administration of oral local anesthetic infiltration pain will be measured by using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) which is an 10-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured

    immediately after completion of administration of oral local anesthetic infiltration within 60 seconds

Study Arms (3)

Ethyl chloride

EXPERIMENTAL

Pre cooling done by the application of single spray ethyl chloride on a cotton pellet and placed for 30 seconds at the injection site for numbing effect

Procedure: Ethyl chloride

5% lidocaine gel

EXPERIMENTAL

5% lidocaine gel 2ml applied on a cotton pallet for 30 seconds on the oral mucosa at the site of injection for the numbing effect

Procedure: 5% lidocaine gel

control

NO INTERVENTION

Local anesthesia infiltration is administrated without using any numbing agent

Interventions

Application of ethyl chloride for a cooling effect to numb the area for oral infiltration anesthetic

Ethyl chloride

Application of 5% lidocaine gel to numb the area for oral infiltration anesthetic

5% lidocaine gel
