Comparing Cardiovascular Effects of 1:100,000 and 1:200,000 Epinephrine Solutions

April 6, 2016 updated by: Fabio Ritto, Rio de Janeiro State University

Randomized Double-blind Clinical Trial Comparing the Cardiovascular Effects of Local Anesthesia Solutions Containing 1:100,000 and 1:200,000 of Epinephrine Concentrations

The study aim to evaluate systemic response of patients when 2 different concentrations of Epinephrine are injected during inferior alveolar nerve block for wisdom teeth extraction.
