Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: The choice of local anesthetic solution in extraction of teeth is based on three main clinical considerations: anesthetic potency, latency and duration of the anesthetic affect. The study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy articaine vs lidocaine in the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. The parameters studied were the onset of anesthesia ,pain during injection ,pain during procedure and after the procedure and duration of anesthesia between the two anesthetics Material and methods: A prospective study was conducted on 30 patients planned for surgical removal of mandibular third molars. The patient was administered one of the anesthetics and the parameters were noted. Results: The differences in latency, pain during procedure and after procedure was statistically significant between articaine and lignocaine. Conclusion: We concluded that articaine had a significant faster onset of action and longer duration of action when compared to lignocaine.
