Anesthetic Efficacy in Irreversible Pulpitis
Phase 4
Completed
- Conditions
- Anesthesia
- Registration Number
- NCT02054767
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Sao Paulo
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy of articaine, lidocaine and mepivacaine in patients with irreversible pulpitis of mandibular molar.
- Detailed Description
Conventional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is the most commonly used technique for achieving pulpal anesthesia in posterior mandibular endodontic procedures. However, IANB has a high failure rate and success rates are even lower when applied for the treatment of mandibular posterior teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
