Anaesthetic Efficacy of 4 Articaine Mandibular Buccal Infiltration Compared To 2 Lignocaine Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Children with Irreversible Pulpitis

摘要

BackgroundLidocaine is the gold standard anaesthetic solution that has been used since its inception into dentistry till date. Around 80% of failures have been reported when lignocaine has been used for inferior alveolar nerve block in children and adults with irreversible pulpitis. There is a need to use newer drugs which are available which have been reported to be effective like lignocaine, such as articaine. Although articaine has been used in adults, literature supporting its use in children is sparse.
