February 12, 2020 updated by: Ahmad Elheeny, Minia University

Articaine Efficacy and Safety in Young Children Below Age of Four Years: An Equivalent Parallel Randomized Control Trial

Pain control is one of the significant behavior determinants in the dental office and shaping the future attitude toward dentistry, especially in children. One of widely used local anesthetic agents is articaine hydrochloride because of its superior potency, over traditionally used 2% lidocaine. Therefore, this study intends to get the benefits of articaine efficiency and apply it in children.
