BUFFERED LOCAL ANAESTHESIA VERSUS NON BUFFERED LOCAL ANAESTHESIA IN MINOR ORAL SURGERY

Phase 3

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: Local anaesthetics suffer several drawbacks such as vasopressor sting on injection, a relatively slower onset etc. Therefore, this study will be aimed at comparing the efficacy of buffered to non buffered local anaesthesia with respect to pain on infiltration, onset and duration of local anaesthesia.

This is a randomised controlled trial will be done on100 patients who require bilateral extraction of grossly decayed maxillarymolar teeth. The sample will be divided into study and control groups by a computergenerated randomizer. In the study group, patients will be given buffered localanaesthesia (prepared by mixing 2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline and 8.4%sodium bicarbonate) before extraction. In the control group, non buffered localanaesthesia (2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline) will be given
