Brief Summary
This research aims to evaluate of the risk of nerve damage following the administration of articaine 4% and lidocaine 2% for Inferior Alveolar nerve Block (IANB). A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial will be conducted where the patient will be randomly assigned to one the two groups; articaine 4% and Lidocaine 2%. The type of LA will be concealed to the operator, investigators and assessors. The patients will be monitored for any aigns of nerve parathesia for 3 months after the procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Electromyograph
Signs of loss of sensation in the involved side of the jaw will be recorded using a tool called Electromyograph machine to evaluate and record Nerve conduction velocity, the scale is as follow Normal (grade 0) to extremely damage of (grade 6) while a patient rate pain intensity on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
