introduction: the aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of 2% lidocaine to 4% articaine in buccal infiltration of maxillary first molars with irreversible pulpitis. moreover, the effect of root length on success of anesthesia irrespective of the type of anesthetic agent was assessed. methods and materials: fifty patients suffering from painful maxillary first molars with irrevers...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study was to evaluate the effect of a buccal infiltration of sodium bicarbonate on the anesthetic success of the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for mandibular first molars in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. METHODS One hundred patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis of a mandibular ...

background: injection of local anesthesia is one of the most important reasons for development of avoidance behavior in children. efforts have been performed to decrease pain perception of injection. the present research evaluated the effect of cooling the injection site on pain perception before infiltration of local anesthetics. materials and methods: a prospective single-blind crossover clin...

Dissociated Aplysia neurons will regenerate neurites and form functional connections in primary cell cultures. The specificity of intercellular connectivity in these cultures was investigated by coculturing neurosecretory bag cells with neurons dissociated from the buccal ganglion. It was found that bag-bag and buccal-buccal electrotonic synapses form with high frequency, consistent with previo...

Introduction Pain control is one of the most important aspects of behavior management in children. The most common way to achieve pain control is by using local anesthetics (LA). Many studies describe that the buccal nerve innervates the buccal gingiva and mucosa of the mandible for a variable extent from the vicinity of the lower third molar to the lower canine. Regarding the importance of app...

Insulin mucoadhesive buccal films (MBF) are a noninvasive insulin delivery system that offers an advantageous alternative route of administration to subcutaneous injection. One major concern in the formulation MBF is preservation secondary structure presence other film components. Buccal were formulated using chitosan, glycerin, and L-arginine. The MBF-forming solutions (MBF-FS) examined for th...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the pain associated with needle insertion (with or without topical anesthetic) and solution deposition for the long buccal nerve block injection in patients with irreversible pulpitis. Initial pain and any differences by age and gender were also studied. STUDY DESIGN One hundred twelve emergency patients with irreversible pulpitis received...

OBJECTIVE To compare single buccal articaine injection versus conventional lignocaine buccal and palatal injections for uncomplicated maxillary tooth extractions. STUDY DESIGN Single blinded randomized control trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY The outpatient department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, from February to September 2011. MET...

Introduction: Anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) block is a nerve block technique in conjunction with computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (CCLAD) system. Anterior middle superior alveolar produces local anesthesia (LA) to the maxillary teeth from second premolar to the central incisor including the hard palate and corresponding soft-tissue of both buccal and palatal side, with s...
