About

Background: Inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia is commonly used in dental procedures, but its effect on the voice quality is not well understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mandibular anesthesia on the acoustic voice quality index.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of mandibular anesthesia on the acoustic voice quality index.

Design: This is a within-subject study design. Participants will be recruited from a local dental clinic and will be adults aged 18 years or older. The participants will have the acoustic voice quality index measured before and after the administration of mandibular anesthesia. The parameters that will be measured include acoustic voice quality index and self ........ The data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques.

Expected Outcome: The study is expected to provide insights into the effect of mandibular anesthesia on the acoustic voice quality index. The results of this study may help in understanding the impact of mandibular anesthesia on voice quality and may have implications for dental practitioners and patients who receive mandibular anesthesia.

Enrollment: 34 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Trial design

34 participants in 1 patient group

Inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia cohort

Description:

This group will consist of participants who are undergoing procedures that require mandibular anesthesia as routine part of care. Participants in this group will have voice recordings taken before and after the administration of anesthesia. The aim is to assess any changes in voice characteristics attributable to the effect of the anesthesia.
