Details and patient eligibility

About

Ninety-five patients, aged between 16 and 70 years old, were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups. Group one received Articaine 4% with 1:00.000 Adrenalines. Group two received Prilocaine with 3% Felypressin (0.03 I.U. per ml). Onset time of anaesthesia was objectively evaluated by using electronic pulp testing.

Full description

85 patients in this study had successful local anaesthetic followed by extraction within the study duration time (10 minutes). However, there were six patients with failure anaesthesia (5 in prilocaine group and 1 in articaine group). By application Person's Chi-square test (x2), there were no significant differences in the number of the episodes of the anaesthetic success between articaine and prilocaine groups at time intervals (P-value = 0.5). T- test showed there have been no important variations within the mean onset time of anaesthesia for articaine and prilocaine buccal infiltrations (P-value =0.1).

95 participants in 2 patient groups

Articaine 4% with 1:00.000 Adrenaline

Active Comparator group

Description:

if the patient was in articaine group, buccal infiltration technique was applied by inserting a short needle at the height of buccal sulcus along the long axis of the subject tooth for extraction.

Treatment:

Drug: Adrenalin

Prilocaine with 3% Felypressin (0.03 I.U. per ml)

Active Comparator group

Description:

if the patient was in prelocaine group, buccal infiltration technique was applied by inserting a short needle at the height of buccal sulcus along the long axis of the subject tooth for extraction.
