Comparison of Articaine and Prilocaine for Extraction of Maxillary Teeth
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Ninety-five patients, aged between 16 and 70 years old, were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups. Group one received Articaine 4% with 1:00.000 Adrenalines. Group two received Prilocaine with 3% Felypressin (0.03 I.U. per ml). Onset time of anaesthesia was objectively evaluated by using electronic pulp testing.

Detailed Description
85 patients in this study had successful local anaesthetic followed by extraction within the study duration time (10 minutes). However, there were six patients with failure anaesthesia (5 in prilocaine group and 1 in articaine group). By application Person's Chi-square test (x2), there were no significant differences in the number of the episodes of the anaesthetic success between articaine and prilocaine groups at time intervals (P-value = 0.5). T- test showed there have been no important variations within the mean onset time of anaesthesia for articaine and prilocaine buccal infiltrations (P-value =0.1).
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Articaine 4% with 1:00.000 Adrenaline if the patient was in articaine group, buccal infiltration technique was applied by inserting a short needle at the height of buccal sulcus along the long axis of the subject tooth for extraction. |
Drug: Articaine 4%
Articaine 4% is dental local anaesthetic agent
Drug: Adrenalin
adrenaline is a vasoconstrictor
|
Active Comparator: Prilocaine with 3% Felypressin (0.03 I.U. per ml) if the patient was in prelocaine group, buccal infiltration technique was applied by inserting a short needle at the height of buccal sulcus along the long axis of the subject tooth for extraction. |
Drug: Prilocain 3%
prilocaine is dental local anaesthetic agent
Drug: Felypressin
Felypressin is a vasoconstrictor

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Does articaine, rather than prilocaine, increase the success rate of anaesthesia for extraction of maxillary teeth [6 months]
to compare the anaesthetic performances of 3% prilocaine (the safest local anaesthetic) with 4 % articaine (the local anaesthetic with fastest onset time of action) when used for maxillary teeth extraction
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients have one or two upper teeth for extraction, subject tooth or its adjacent must be vital, healthy patient or patient with mild systemic diseases (class I or II according to American Society of Anesthesiology).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients excluded from this study if they have allergy to local anaesthetic agents or need surgical, or multiple teeth extraction.
