Brief Summary

Optimal anesthesia is an essential requirement for successful dentoalveolar intervention.To achieve this goal,different anesthetic agents and techniques are available. Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) remains the most commonly used anesthetic technique. However, after the worldwide approval of articaine, a relatively new local anesthetic with enhanced tissue diffusion properties, many studies on healthy volunteers have investigated the anesthetic efficacy of buccal articaine infiltration and IANB in the mandibular posterior teeth and reported comparable results. Infiltration anesthesia is technically more straightforward, less stressful to the patient, and associated with higher success and lower complication rates than block anesthesia. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of local infiltration anesthesia using 4% articaine in the analgesia of deciduous and permanent molars in children aged 5-18 years and mandibular premolars in children aged 10-18 years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Checkout of painlessness in lateral region lower jaw in children using Visual Analog Scale

    Checkout of painlessness in lateral region lower jaw in children using Visual Analog Scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means absence of pain and 10 means unbearable pain.

    during procedure

  • Checkout of painlessness in lateral region lower jaw in children using tooth vitality test

    Control and verification of painlessness of the anesthetized lower jaw region will be performed 10 minutes after anesthetic injection using a tooth vitality test.

    10 minutes after anesthetic injection

  • Checkout of painlessness in lateral region lower jaw in children using Wong-Baker Pain Rating Scale

Study Arms (2)

The first tasted group using 4% Articaine

EXPERIMENTAL

The group was divided into three subgroups depending on the age of the participials: 1st group from 5-9 years, 2nd from 10-13 years and 3th from 14-18 years. Following placement of 5% lidocaine topical anaesthetic for 3 minutes prior to and at the site of needle penetration, patients were randomly given one of the following local anesthetic regimes administered by the principle investigator. For indicated dental treatment patients would receive 2.0 ml 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine as a local infiltration in the mucobuccal region,the lateral region of the lower jaw.Criteria for measuring efficacy would be to measure pain during anesthetic injection, 10 minutes after injection,during and after the intervention. The child's behavior would be monitored through all phases of clinical work by direct observation of the dentist( examiner) using the above methodology. After that, the examiner would fill in the questionnaire based on the answer of the child / parent (guardian).

Procedure: Tooth extraction of deciduous and permanent molars in children aged 5-18 years and mandibular premolars in children aged 10-18 yearsProcedure: Endodontic dental treatment of deciduous and permanent molars in children aged 5-18 years and mandibular premolars in children aged 10-18 yearsProcedure: Conservative tooth restoration of deciduous and permanent molars in children aged 5-18 years and mandibular premolars in children aged 10-18 years

The second tasted group using 2% Lidocaine-chloride

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The group was divided into three subgroups depending on the age of the participials: 1st group from 5-9 years, 2nd from 10-13 years and 3th from 14-18 years. Following placement of 5% lidocaine topical anesthetic for 3 minutes prior to and at the site of needle penetration, patients were randomly given one of the following local anesthetic regimes administered by the principle investigator. For the indicated dental treatment will be used 2.0 ml 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine as an IANB anesthesia for n.alveolaris inferior. Criteria for measuring efficacy would be to measure pain during anesthetic injection, 10 minutes after injection,during and after the intervention. The child's behavior would be monitored through all phases of clinical work by direct observation of the dentist( examiner) using the above methodology. After that, the examiner would fill in the questionnaire based on the answer of the child / parent (guardian).

Masking Details
Patients were randomly and equally assigned to treatment groups. The study was planned as a double-blind. Thus, neither the patients nor the researchers knew which anesthetic will be applied. Only practioner, who will injected anesthetic will know what tipe of anesthetic is it - 4% articain or 2% lidocain chlorid. Number of participials is 60, divided into two equal groups.
