Brief Summary  

This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial which will evaluate effect of anesthesia with inferior alveolar and Gow Gate’s mandibular nerve block techniques using 4% Articaine and 2% Lignocaine. my study period will be 1 year.  Mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis indicated for root canal treatment will be selected from the regular pool of patients coming to the Department of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics at J.N. Kapoor D.A.V (C) Dental College, Yamunanagar.  A sample size of 120 teeth will be taken which will be divided equally (60 teeth each) in Group I and II. Teeth in Group I will be injected using inferior alveolar nerve block and teeth in Group II will be injected using Gow Gate’s mandibular nerve block. Group I and II will be subdivided into subgroups I a, I b and II a, II b respectively. Subgroup I a will be injected with 4% Articaine and I b will be injected with 2% Lidocaine. Subgroups II a and II b will be injected with 4% Articaine and 2% Lidocaine respectively.
