Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  standard Inferior alveolar nerve block with lignocaine hydrochloride and supplementary buccal infiltration with articaine   Topical anaesthetic gel will be applied for 60 sec at the site of injection prior to administration of IANB. Standard IANB with 2ml of 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with adrenaline 1:80000 and supplementary buccal infiltration with 2ml of 4% articaine with adrenaline 1:100000 will be administered. After 15 min success of anaesthesia will be confirmed with EPT. Access opening will be performed. After access opening pulp extirpation will be performed. The patient will be asked to quantify the pain at 3 intervals that is pre operative, during access opening and immediately after pulp extirpation. Root canals will be medicated with calcium hydroxide and temporarily sealed with IRM. NRS scale will be used to evaluate the intensity of pain experienced by the patients on a scale of 0-10. The endodontic treatment will be completed 1 week later. 
Intervention  cryotherapy  Topical anaesthetic gel will be applied for 60 sec at the site of injection prior to administration of IANB. Standard IANB with 2ml of 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with adrenaline 1:80000 will be administered. After 15 min success of anaesthesia will be confirmed with EPT. Prior to access opening endo ice will be applied on buccal (3 sec), lingual (3 sec) and occlusal surface (4 sec) for total 10 sec. Access opening will be performed. Pulp will be exposed and deroofing will be done. Ice sticks will be directly placed on pulp chamber for a period of 4 min. After access opening pulp extirpation will be performed. The patient will be asked to quantify the pain at 3 intervals that is pre operative, during access opening and immediately after pulp extirpation. Root canals will be medicated with calcium hydroxide and temporarily sealed with IRM. NRS scale will be used to evaluate the intensity of pain experienced by the patients on a scale of 0-10. The endodontic treatment will be completed 1 week later.

Brief Summary  

The study will be done to evaluate and compare the efficacy of inferior alveolar nerve block in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis cases using lignocaine with articaine and cryotherapy as an adjunct, in pain reduction during endodontic procedures. The forthcoming clinical study will be carried out within the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics at I.T.S. Dental College, Hospital, and Research Centre in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The sample size for the study will encompass a total of 150 patients drawn from the Outpatient Department (O.P.D) of the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, adhering meticulously to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be screened according to the degree of baseline pain which will be determined before the selection of the sample using numerical rating scale (NRS). If a patient met all the inclusion criteria, he/she will be informed of the nature of the study and will be invited to participate by signing the consent forms. Patients will be then allocated to 3 groups of 50 patients each receiving standard inferior alveolar nerve block with lignocaine, standard inferior alveolar nerve block with  lignocaine hydrochloride  and supplementary buccal infiltration with articaine,  Standard inferior alveolar nerve block with lignocaine hydrochloride followed by application of endo ice and ice sticks during access opening. The patient will be asked to quantify the pain at 3 intervals i.e pre operative, during access opening and immediately after pulp extirpation. NRS scale will be used to evaluate the intensity of pain experienced by the patients on a scale of 0-10.
