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.

Study Arms (2)
The first tasted group using 4% Articaine
EXPERIMENTALThe 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).
The second tasted group using 2% Lidocaine-chloride
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe 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).
Interventions
Tooth extraction will be following up with the methodological procedures in order to define the effectiveness of anesthetics during indicated dental procedure.
Endodontic dental treatment will be following up with the methodological procedures in order to define the effectiveness of anesthetics during dental treatment.
Conservative tooth restoration will be following up with the methodological procedures in order to define the effectiveness of anesthetics during conservative tooth restoration.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Respondents of both sexes, aged 5-18 years
- Subjects in need of either conservative rehabilitation or tooth extraction on deciduous or permanent premolars and / or molars
- Subjects who have an X-ray of the teeth for the need of dental rehabilitation
You may not qualify if:
- difficult cooperation with the patient
- existence of allergy to local anesthetic
- the existence of a diagnosed general disease
- unsigned informative consent

- 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.
