• Conditions: Pulpitis,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2023/07/054607
• Lead Sponsor: Rudrapaka Sirisha

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the anesthesia efficiency of inferior alveolar nerve block performed using Star pen electronic anesthetic delivery system, Septodont syringe, and conventional syringe. Patients coming to the OPD of the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics of St. Joseph Dental College, Duggirala, Eluru will be taken for the study. Signed informed consent forms will be taken from all the patients. Patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis confirmed with EPT and cold tests will be selected. Inclusion criteria include mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, both male and female patients of age 18-65 years. The specific exclusion criteria include radiographs with periapical changes, patients showing positive aspiration during local anesthesia administration, and medically compromised patients who will be excluded from the study. In this controlled trial, the pain perception of the patients will be assessed using the visual analogue scale during needle insertion, during local anesthesia administration and during the treatment. The results will be statistically analyzed .
