Comparing Two Different Volumes of Articaine Injection for Lower Back Tooth Extraction A Randomized Clinical Trial

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are comparing the effectiveness of two different volumes of buccal infiltration of Articaine for extracting mandibular posterior teeth. This trial aims to evaluate whether 1.8 ml or 3.6 ml of 4% Articaine provides better anesthesia and pain control during tooth extraction. The study addresses concerns with the common inferior alveolar nerve block technique, which can cause complications such as pain, facial nerve paralysis, and other side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 1.8 ml or 3.6 ml of 4% Articaine via buccal infiltration. This method is considered safer and less painful than the traditional nerve block. The trial compares these two doses to determine their effectiveness in providing adequate anesthesia for painless extraction of mandibular posterior teeth. During the study, participants will be assessed for pain intensity from reflection of the mucoperiosteum until the tooth is removed, the time it takes for anesthesia to begin up to 10 minutes, and the presence or absence of pain throughout the procedure. The research team will monitor these outcomes to understand which volume of Articaine offers better pain control and faster anesthesia onset during dental extraction.
