Abstract
Background: Local anesthetics are efficient and safe medicaments that are used prevention and management of pain. The duration action of articaine is longer than lidocaine as it has the presence of thiopentone ring and it has better diffusion into the tissues that leads to its longer duration of action The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the anaesthetic efficacy of articaine and lidocaine in third molar surgery. Materials and Methods: The present prospective randomised study was performed amongst 60 subjects who reported to the dental department of the college. Under complete aseptic condition 1.8 ml of local anaesthesia was administered as inferior alveolar and lingual nerve block. Buccal nerve block was also administered. The performing surgeon and the patient was blinded about the type of anaesthesia. Similar surgical technique and post-operative medications and instructions were provided to all the subjects. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analysed using SPSS software. Results: The study included 60 subjects, out of which 45 were males and 25 females. The mean age of the subjects was 32.35 +/- 5.31 years. The mean onset in Group A was 56.20+/- 9.86 secs. The mean onset in Group B was 83.51+/- 11.65 secs. The mean pain in Group A was 0.96 +/-0.81. The mean pain in Group B was 1.21 +/-1.15. Conclusion: Articaine provided better and quick pain relief and may be considered as a safe alternative to lidocaine for doing dental treatment.
