COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF 2% LIGNOCAINE AND 4% ARTICAINE IN INTRAORAL INFILTRATIVE ANAESTHESIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 16
Abstract
BACKGROUND Though lignocaine stands as a time-tested local anaesthetic, articaine is becoming increasingly popular in recent times. METHODS This is a prospective double blinded study between 2% lignocaine and 4% articaine both with 1,00,000 adrenaline, carried out on patients reporting for extraction of maxillary premolars for orthodontic reasons. The observations are statistically analysed. RESULTS 4% articaine is found to have statistically significant difference compared to lignocaine in terms of quicker onset of action and prolonged postoperative pain control. Though the difference exists in terms of depth of anaesthesia favouring articaine the result was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS 4% articaine is found to have superior anaesthetic properties when compared to 2% lignocaine.
