Comparator Agent  supplementary intraligamentary injections of 2% lidocaine with 1:200 000 epinephrine  All patients will receive a primary inferior alveolar nerve block injection using 1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1: 80 000 epinephrine using a direct Halsted approach. In case of pain during treatment, the patients will receive supplementary intraligamentary injections. The injections will be administered using a pressure type syringe and 30 gauge short needles, at the mesial and distal line angles of the gingival sulcus.

Brief Summary  

Introduction: To achieve painless treatment in patients with a failed primary IANB, supplementary anesthesia has been advised. Majority of the studies evaluating intraligamentary injections have been performed on asymptomatic teeth. Very limited research has been dedicated to the evaluation of different variables in intraligamentary injections in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis Aim: To evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of 2% lidocaine with 1:80 000 epinephrine vs. 2% lidocaine with 1:200 000, given as intraligamentary injections after a failed inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) ,in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Objective : 1.To achieve painless treatment in patients with a failed primary IANB. during the endodontic management of symptomatic mandibular first/second molar. 2. To evaluate the  heart rate during and after intraligamentary injections

Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial will be carried out Conservative Dentistry, Faculty Of Dentistry, Jamia Millia Islamia. Sixty adult patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpits in a mandibular first or second molar, will  receive an initial IANB with 2% lidocaine with 1:80 000 epinephrine. Pain during the endodontic treatment will be assessed using a visual analogue scale(VAS). Patients experiencing pain on endodontic intervention shall be randomly allocated to one of the two treatment groups: one group shall receive 0.6 mL/ root of supplementary intraligamentary injection of 2% lidocaine with 1:80 000 epinephrine; while the second group shall receive 2% lidocaine with 1:200 000 epinephrine. Endodontic treatment will be re-initiated. Success after primary injection or supplementary injection will be defined as no or mild pain (less than 55 mm on HP VAS) during access preparation and root canal instrumentation. Heart rate will be monitored using a finger pulse oximeter by faculty member . Statistical analysis : The results will be tabulated in contingency tables. The anesthetic success rates will be analyzed with Pearson chi-square test at 5% significance levels. The heart rate changes will be analyzed using t-test.
