It has been shown that the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) has high failure rate especially in patients with irreversible pulpitis. Newer local anesthetic, 4% articaine has shown superiority over 2% lignocaine when used as a primary buccal infiltration of the mandibular first molar. This study compared the degree of pulpal anesthesia obtained with 1.7 ml 4% articaine with 1:1,00,000 epinephrine when compared to 1.7 ml 2% lignocaine with 1:2,00,000 as a primary infiltration in mandibular first molar with irreversible pulpitis. Sixty adults aged 18-65 years participated in this study. Twenty-two patients out of 30 did not experience pain with 4% articaine (success = 73.33%) and 26 out of 30 patients did not experience pain in 2% lignocaine group (success = 86.66%). There was no statistically significant difference between the articaine and lignocaine formulation with regard to anesthetic success. |
