Anesthetic Efficacy in Irreversible Pulpitis
January 31, 2014 updated by: Isabel Peixoto Tortamano, University of Sao Paulo
Anesthetic Efficacy of Articaine, Lidocaine and Mepivacaine in Patients With Irreversible Pulpitis of Mandibular Molar
The purpose of this study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy of articaine, lidocaine and mepivacaine in patients with irreversible pulpitis of mandibular molar.

Detailed Description
Conventional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is the most commonly used technique for achieving pulpal anesthesia in posterior mandibular endodontic procedures.
However, IANB has a high failure rate and success rates are even lower when applied for the treatment of mandibular posterior teeth with irreversible pulpitis.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
pulpal anesthesia
Time Frame: Ten minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block
|
pulpal anesthesia was tested with an electric pulp stimulator
|
Ten minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
analgesia
Time Frame: the patients were instructed to report any painful sensation at three phases: 1) dentin 2) pulp chamber 3) root canal
|
To evaluate the intensity of pain during the pulpectomy a verbal analogic scale was adopted
|
the patients were instructed to report any painful sensation at three phases: 1) dentin 2) pulp chamber 3) root canal
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
lip anesthesia
Time Frame: ten minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block
|
The investigators evaluated the subjective lip anethesia by asking the patient whether his/her lip was numb
|
ten minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block
