Onset of action and duration efficacy inferior alveolar nerve block versus single lingual subperi-osteal injection 4% articaine in mandibular second molars: A randomized clinical trial

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three local anesthetic agents for intravenous regional anesthesia in the upper limb. Side effects and plasma concentrations of the drugs in the doses administered for IVRA were also studied. METHODS Thirty patients in ASA groups I and II received intravenous regional anesthesia for surgery of the upper lim...

BACKGROUND Fast onset and short duration are prominent properties of the amide-type local anaesthetic articaine. Similar to bupivacaine, a hyperbaric solution of articaine may produce faster onset and shorter duration of spinal anaesthesia than a plain solution. METHODS Patients undergoing open inguinal hernia repair received in random order articaine 84 mg in either hyperbaric (HyperA, n=49)...

BACKGROUND The available literature confirms the effectiveness of intraligamentary injections equal to nerve blocks and articaine equal to lignocaine with better depth of penetration for single tooth pulpectomy procedures with less postoperative soft tissue trauma. An advancement in the field of local anesthesia delivery is the Single Tooth Anesthesia-Wand (STA-Wand) which is relatively pain-fr...

BACKGROUND This prospective, randomized, double-blind, clinical study was conducted to compare the effects of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine (A100) and 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine (A200) on the vital signs and onset and duration of anesthesia in an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). METHODS In the first appointment, an IANB was performed by injecting A100 or A200 in 1 ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate success of pulpal anaesthesia of mandibular 1st molar by using 4% articaine in buccal infiltration versus 2% lidocaine in inferior alveolar nerve block. STUDY DESIGN Randomized control trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Operative Dentistry, Sardar Begum Dental College, Gandhara University, Peshawar, from March to August 2014. METHODOLOGY One hundred and...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anesthetic efficacy 4% articaine by buccal infiltration technique (BI) after inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) with 2% mepivacaine, both 1:100,000 epinephrine, in urgency treatment mandibular molars symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP). This a prospective study, randomized, blinded, controlled parallel clinical trial experimental design. Thirty pa...

Articaine hydrochloride and adrenaline injection, also known as primacaine adrenaline, is an aqueous solution of 4% adrenaline with 1 : 100,000 adrena-line [1]. Its advantages include fast diffusion through tissues, low dosage, strong local anesthesia efficacy, rapid onset, long duration, being less toxic than lido-caine and avoiding conduction anesthesia complications , like hematoma, infectio...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular effects and the anesthetic efficacy of intraosseous injections of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine (EPI100) or 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine (EPI200). STUDY DESIGN In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study, 0.9 mL EPI100 and EPI200 solutions were administered for endodontic treatment of mandibular mol...
