Age To  40.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1. Patients having Moderate to severe pain in maxillary 1st molar tooth along with a positive response to cold testing with an ice stick & an electric pulp tester.
2. The ability of the patient to understand the use of pain scales.
3. The patient should be in good health & none should take any medication that would alter pain perception, as determined by oral & written questionnaire in last 24 hrs.
4. Absence of any periapical radiolucency on radiographs except for a widened periodontal ligament
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Patients with systemic disorder like diabetes, hypertension, asthma etc.
2. Patient having active pain in more than one maxillary molar in same quadrant.
3. Subjects taking any pain relieving medication including analgesics within last 24 hrs.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Both male and female patients experienced significantly less pain in Articaine group as compared to Lidocaine group.
2. the anesthetic efficacy of 2% Lidocaine is less as compared to 4% Articaine.
3. The anesthetic efficacy of buccal infiltration using 4% articaine is comparable with 2% Lidocaine but 4% Articaine has been found to be better than 2% Lidocaine because only 0.8 ml of 4% Articaine was injected as opposed to 1.6 ml of 2% Lidocaine.
 
Initial pain and pain after 7 minutes of injection 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. In all the failed cases in both the groups, patients had moderate to severe pain while inserting the file in palatal canals only.

2. In failed cases of both the groups female patients experienced more pain as compared to the male patients, however, it is not statistically significant in Articaine group but it is significant in Lidocaine group.

Brief Summary  

Aim- 

To Compare and evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of 4% Articaine and 2% Lidocaine for buccal infiltration in adult patients with irreversible pulpitis of maxillary first molar.


Materials and methods:

1.      200 adult subjects with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in maxillary first molar were  selected by simple sequential randomization procedure (Coin toss method). 

2. They were randomly allocated to two groups Group 1 (n-100) and Group 2 (n-100). Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups (n-50 each):

a.       Group 1:

     Group 1A: Buccal infiltration anesthesia with 4% articaine in males.

     Group 1B: Buccal infiltration anesthesia with 4% articaine in females.

b.      Group 2:

     Group 2A: Buccal infiltration anesthesia with 2% lidocaine in males.

     Group 2B: Buccal infiltration anesthesia with 2% lidocaine in females.

3.   On random basis, 50 male patients (Group 1A) were given submucosal buccal infiltration with 4% articaine.  Same procedure was done for, 50 female patients (Group 1B).

4. The procedure was repeated for Group 2A and 2B by giving submucosal buccal infiltration with 2% lidocaine.

5.    After 7 min of injection, the patients were again asked to rate their pain on Heft-Parker VAS.

6. The extent of access preparation and/or instrumentation was recorded as within dentin, within pulpal space & the insertion of 1st instrument in the canal till the working length using apex locator.

7.   The success was defined as “no pain (0 mm)” or “weak/mild pain (˃ 0 mm & ≤ 54 mm.)” during endodontic access preparation & during first file insertion till working length, and the failure was defined as “Moderate pain (˃ 54 mm & Ë‚ 114 mm)” or “severe pain (≥ 114 mm)” during endodontic access preparation & during first file insertion till working length. 


Statistical analysis:

“Unpaired t test” and “chi-square test” was used to determine significant differences with 95% confidence level at P < 0.05 (SPSS software v. 20).

Result:

 On comparison of both the groups, statistical analysis reveals that the anesthetic efficacy of buccal infiltration using 4% articaine in patients with irreversible pulpitis of maxillary 1st molar is comparable with 2% Lidocaine. But 4% Articaine has been found to be better than 2% Lidocaine because only 0.8 ml of 4% Articaine was injected as oppose to 1.6 ml of 2% Lidocaine.
