SSRIs users were 45 women who take SSRIs referred for endodontic treatment from a psychiatric clinic to the clinic of the endodontic department of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. SSRIs non-users were 45 women who did not take SSRIs referred for endodontic treatment to the same dental clinic.

About this study

Official title: Anesthetic Success of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block for Mandibular Molars With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis in Women Taking Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

To evaluate the success of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis in women under treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Read the detailed description

Seventy patients with a diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in one mandibular molar were assigned to either SSRI users or SSRI non-users groups. SSRIs users were 45 women who take SSRIs referred for endodontic treatment from a psychiatric clinic to the clinic of the endodontic department of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. SSRIs non-users were 45 women who did not take SSRIs referred for endodontic treatment to the same dental clinic. The protocol of the study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the university (no. 394867). Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients. The level of anxiety of the patients was determined by using the Corah Dental Anxiety Scale. The patients registered their baseline pain severity using a Heft-Parker visual analogue scale (HP-VAS). Two standard IANBs (1.8-mL cartridges) of 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine (Darupakhsh, Tehran, Iran) were administered to each patient. Fifteen minutes after injection, the teeth were isolated. Access cavity preparation was started. The patients was instructed by the same operator to mark his or her pain experienced during the access cavity preparation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Local Anesthesia, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the success rate of the IAN block (time frame: taking any type of SSRI for at least six weeks prior to the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Feb 2019.
