Is the Direct Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Required for Third Lower Molar Extraction?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nerve block technique, Infiltrative technique, and 2 other interventions for Tooth Extraction and Dental Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) which objective is to compare the effectiveness, efficacy and complication associated to an infiltrative anesthetic technique for the removal of lower third molars comparing it to the standard inferior alveolar nerve block using 4% articaine 1:100.000 epinephrine.

Interventions
Inferior alveolar nerve block with 1.8 cc of 4% articaine 1:100.000 epinephrine and 1.8 cc of the same anesthetic for the buccal nerve for third molar extraction.
Infiltrative anesthesia buccally between first and second mandibular molar with 3.6 cc of 4% articaine 1:100.000 epinephrine and 0.6 cc lingually to the third molar using the same anesthetic solution.
