A study to evaluate and compare the onset, duration of action and efficacy of lignocaine and articaine in pediatric dental patients
Keywords:
Lignocaine, Articaine, Efficacy, Local anaesthesiaAbstract
Background: Local anaesthetic agents have revolutionized the practise of dentistry and allowed safer pain free surgical experience. Because of its potency, safety and effectiveness lignocaine has become the gold standard for comparison among newer agents. Articaine is claimed to be superior to lignocaine owing to its better diffusion through soft tissue and bone, the rapid onset, and the lower degree of toxicity. To evaluate and compare onset, duration of action and efficacy of lignocaine and articaine. Eighty children aged 5-12 years appearing in the outpatient department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry were equally divided into two groups for injecting lignocaine and articaine for routine dental procedures.
