Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Hemodynamic measures
Including heart rate (HR)
Recorded immediate before local anesthesia, immediate after local anesthesia, 5 minutes after local anesthesia and immediate after surgery
Hemodynamic measures
Blood pressure (Systolic pressure and diastolic pressure)
Recorded immediate before local anesthesia, immediate after local anesthesia, 5 minutes after local anesthesia and immediate after surgery
O2 saturation (SpO2)
O2 saturation (SpO2)
Recorded immediate before local anesthesia, immediate after local anesthesia, 5 minutes after local anesthesia and immediate after surgery
Pain and satisfaction of the surgery
Pain according to VAS (0-10) and satisfaction score (1-5, "1" being the least satisfactory and "5" being the most satisfactory)
Recorded immediate after each dental extraction surgery
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Adverse events of anesthesia
Recorded during and interview the patient immediate after each dental extraction surgery
Study Arms (4)
Experiment 1, arm 1: Articaine infiltration anesthesia
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis arm aims to compare efficacy and safety of infiltration anesthesia of Articaine (Orabloc®) to block anesthesia of Lidocaine (Octocaine®). It would be a split-mouth study design. The patient in this arm would be randomly assigned to one anesthetic agent and technique at one side (left or right) of the wisdom tooth surgery first, and the other side (left or right) of wisdom tooth surgery would use the other anesthetic agent and technique accordingly.
Experiment 1, arm 2: Lidocaine block anesthesia
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis arm aims to compare efficacy and safety of infiltration anesthesia of Articaine (Orabloc®) to block anesthesia of Lidocaine (Octocaine®). It would be a split-mouth study design. The patient in this arm would be randomly assigned to one anesthetic agent and technique at one side (left or right) of the wisdom tooth surgery first, and the other side (left or right) of wisdom tooth surgery would use the other anesthetic agent and technique accordingly.
Experiment 2, arm 1: Lidocaine+1:100000 adrenaline block anesthesia
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis arm aims to compare efficacy and safety of block anesthesia of Lidocaine containing different concentration of epinephrine (adrenaline), i.e. Octocaine® (Lidocaine+1:100000 adrenaline) vs. Xylestesin-A® (Lidocaine+1:80000 adrenaline). It would be a split-mouth study design. The patients in this arm would be randomly assigned to one anesthetic agent at one side (left or right) of the wisdom tooth surgery first, and the other side (left or right) of wisdom tooth surgery would use the other anesthetic agent accordingly.
Experiment 2, arm 2: Lidocaine+1:80000 adrenaline block anesthesia
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis arm aims to compare efficacy and safety of block anesthesia of Lidocaine containing different concentration of epinephrine (adrenaline), i.e. Octocaine® (Lidocaine+1:100000 adrenaline) vs. Xylestesin-A® (Lidocaine+1:80000 adrenaline). It would be a split-mouth study design. The patients in this arm would be randomly assigned to one anesthetic agent at one side (left or right) of the wisdom tooth surgery first, and the other side (left or right) of wisdom tooth surgery would use the other anesthetic agent accordingly.
Interventions
As mentioned in arm/group descriptions. The amount of dental anesthetic agents used during the surgery will be tailored for patient according to their response, which will not exceed the recommended dosage described in the instruction of the product. The amount of the drug used during the surgery will be recorded.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adults aged between 20-60 years old
- Generally healthy or with well-controlled mild systemic diseases (such as well-controlled hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia)
- Bilateral wisdom teeth with similar difficulty of surgery(according to Pell and Gregory and Winter's classification), which are indicated for surgical removal under local anesthesia
You may not qualify if:
- Known or suspected allergy to amide-type local anesthetic agents
- With systemic contraindication for tooth extraction, such as poorly-controlled heart diseases or diabetes, and severe liver or kidney diseases. Patients with systolic blood pressure greater than 150 mmHg or less than 90 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg or less than 60 mmHg are also excluded
- With local contraindication for tooth extraction, such as previous irradiation to the surgical region, acute infection or cellulitis at the surgical region
- Patients during pregnancy or lactation
- Patients taking analgesic or sedatives in 24 hrs
- Intolerant of dental extraction surgery under local anesthesia due to anxiety, dentophobia, or pain
