简要总结
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of Atricaine hydrogel versus Lidocaine hydrogel for pain control during the treatment of deep cavities in children aged 5–10 years. The study involved three groups (Atricaine, Lidocaine, and a control) and measured pain levels using standardized scales (e.g., FLACC or Wong-Baker FACES). Results indicated whether Atricaine provided superior, equivalent, or inferior anesthesia compared to Lidocaine, with implications for clinical practice in pediatric dentistry. The sample size was calculated to ensure statistical power, accounting for potential dropouts. Findings aim to guide dentists in choosing the most effective and child-friendly topical anesthetic for managing discomfort during caries treatment.
