Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: The use of local anesthetics (LAs) in dentistry and other surgical procedures as a means of pain control has been one of the medical marvels of twentieth century.Hence; we planned the present study to evaluate the efficacy of two different anaesthetic solutions in patients undergoing dental extractions. Materials & methods: A total of 50 patients scheduled to undergo dental extractions were included in the present study. Group A- included patients who were given 2 percent lignocaine with 1:80000 concentration of adrenaline,Group B- included patients who were given 2 percent lignocaine with 1:200000 concentration of adrenaline.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for assessing the efficacy of both the anaesthetic solutions. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were analysed by SPSS software. Results: Non- significant results were obtained while comparing the mean duration of onset of the two anaesthetic solutions. Mean VAS score of the subjects of group A was 1.22 and of group B was 1.56. Non- significant results were obtained while comparing the mean VAS of the two study groups. Conclusion: Both the anaesthetic agents exhibit equal efficacy.
