Randomized Clinical Trial on the Effectiveness of the Intraligamentary Anesthesia and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block on Pain During Dental Treatment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating local anaesthetic techniques for Dental Caries. Completed, enrolled 72 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Objective: To compare the effectiveness and complications of intraligamentary anesthesia (ILA) with conventional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) during injection and dental treatment of mandibular posterior teeth. Materials and Methods: In this randomized, prospective clinical trial, 72 patients (39 males, 33 females) patients scheduled for dental treatment of mandibular posterior teeth, were randomly allocated to ILA group (n=35) received ILA injection or IANB group (n=37) received the conventional IANB. Our primary outcome was to assess pain during the injection as well as pain and stress (discomfort) during dental treatment, using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from 0 to 10 (0 = no pain, 10= the worst pain imaginable). Whereas; recording 24 hours postoperative complications were our Secondary outcomes.
