简要总结
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of pulpal anesthesia in pain control during endodontic treatment by lowering the temperature of the injected plain 3% cold Mepivacaine (5ºC) compared to 3% Mepivacaine at room temperature in teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
详细描述
Mepivacaine has some advantages over other anesthetics. The investigators wanted to compare whether changing temperature could improve its effectiveness in cases of irreversible pulpitis.

Assessment of Pain and Anxiety
时间窗: 1 visit of 1 hour
Pain during injection, caries removal, access cavity, and instrumentation were recorded. The patients received a full description of the procedure, and patients were asked to rate their current pain and their anxiety with a descriptive scale (Heft-Parker Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before starting the treatment. A visual analog scale of 170 mm that the start points on the left side means "no pain" and the endpoint on the right side means "severe pain". The participants indicated their pain level by marking a point on the scale that best represented their experience. For data interpretation, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was segmented into four categories: no pain corresponded to 0 mm on the scale, mild pain as greater than 0 and ≤54mm, moderate pain defined as greater than 54 mm and less than 114 mm and severe pain defined as 114 mm or more.
