Brief Summary  

Introduction

Dental anxiety and fear of needle injection is one of the most common problems encountered by dental practitioners, especially in the pediatric patient. Several methods are suggested to lower the discomfort of local anesthesia injection during dental procedures. There are some technical advances to lower the pain of injection by alkalization of dental anesthetics prior to injection. 

Aim:

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of pH buffering of local anesthetic drug, on the pain,discomfort and onset of local anesthesia injection during dental procedures.

Children divided randomly in 2 groups- Test group and Control Group

Group 1 – Test group-The test solution -alkalinized 2% lidocaine/ epinephrine 1:100,000 is administered before the dental treatment.

Group 2- Control group- non-alkalinized 2% lidocaine/epinephrine 1:100,000  is administered before the dental treatment.

Pain perception during the administration of local anesthesia, the time of onset and efficacy of analgesia assessed.
