Anesthetic efficacy
Description: Patients will be assigned to one of the two groups . Group 1: 2%Lignocaine 1;80,000 epinephrine 1.8 ml IANB Group 2: 4%Articaine 1:100,000 epinephrine 1.8 ml Primary buccal infilteration Efficacy will be considered if there are 2 consecutive non-responsive readings during 60 mins duration , usually measured on EPT 15 mins after administration of anesthesia . Any pain felt during the procedure will be measured according to Heft-Parker VAS and moderate-severe pain reported (VAS ≥ 55) will be regarded unsuccessful . Time Frame: 1 hour after administration of local anesthetic agent .
1 hour after administration of anesthetic agent
Duration of anesthesia

: 2% Lignocaine Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block (IANB) Participants in this group will receive an inferior alveolar nerve block using 2% Lignocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine.
Participants in this group will receive 4% Articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine at the site of the mandibular first molar.
2% Lignocaine Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block (IANB) : Participants in this group will receive an inferior alveolar nerve block using 2% Lignocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine. The injection will be administered following standard IANB technique for mandibular first molars. The anesthetic efficacy will be assessed with 2 consecutive non responsive readings on EPT objectivelt and via Heft-Parker VAS not more than ≥55 .

Actual (reported)Participants in this group will receive a buccal infiltration of 4% Articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine at the site of the mandibular first molar. The injection will follow standard buccal infiltration technique. Anesthetic efficacy will be evaluated during endodontic treatment using the same pain assessment method as Arm 1.
