Comparing Articaine and Mepivacaine Without Palatal Injection in Pain Assessment During Maxillary Teeth Extraction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study compares the the efficacy of buccal infiltration of 4% Articaine and 2% Mepivacaine without any palatal injection during extraction of maxillary teeth. One group of patient receives buccal infiltration of Articaine and another group receives buccal infiltration of Mepivacaine.

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Dense local anesthesia is required to reduce pain during extraction of tooth. Administration of local anesthesia to the palatal mucosa is proved to be the most painful due to its firm adherence to the underlying periosteum and also it's abundant nerve supply. Articaine has greater lipid solubility and high bone penetration property. Mepivacaine is proven to be the safest local anaesthetic agent. Avoidance of a palatal injection during extraction will benefit the patient by reducing pain and anxiety to a greater extent.
So this study compares the bone penetration property between Articaine and Mepivacaine by assessing the pain in the palatal mucosa while extracting the tooth using only buccal infiltration.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Measurement of pain intensity [10 minutes after the administration of the drug]
pain intensity in the palatal mucosa is measured using Visual Analogue Scale during instrumentation to check objective symptoms of numbness. The pain is marked from 0-100 mm in a 100 mm visual analogue scale ( 0= no pain, 100= extremely severe pain).
- Measurement of pain intensity [through the extraction procedure]
pain intensity in the palatal mucosa is measured using Visual Analogue Scale during flap elevation procedure . The pain is marked from 0-100 mm in a 100 mm visual analogue scale ( 0= no pain, 100= extremely severe pain).
- Measurement of pain intensity [Through the extraction procedure]
pain intensity is measured using Visual Analogue Scale during extraction of tooth. The pain is marked from 0-100 mm in a 100 mm visul analogue scale ( 0= no pain, 100= extremely severe pain).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Response rate [Through the extraction procedure]
the total number of patients with pain score more than 40 mm in visual Analogue Scale resulting in a palatal injection.
