About this study

Official title: Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Buccal Infiltration Anesthesia Versus Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Anesthesia for the Extraction of Primary Mandibular Molars: A Randomized Controlled Study

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of single buccal local infiltration when compared to buccal local infiltration with intrapapillary infiltration and inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia in primary mandibular molar extractions.

Read the detailed description

Effective pain control is essential in providing children with successful dental treatment. Without it, negative experiences may result in anxiety and fear-related behaviors towards subsequent dental treatment. Local anesthesia is the cornerstone of pain control in dentistry. Choosing the right local anesthetic technique is of special significance .

The inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is a common practice for anesthetizing mandibular molars and/or premolars on one side of the jaw. It is achieved by depositing local anesthetic solution at the entrance to the mandibular canal, which inhibits the transmission of action potentials along the inferior alveolar nerve.

Administering an IANB can be technique sensitive and failure rates are reported to be up to 20%, due to anatomical variations in the position of the mandibular foramen and accessory innervations. This effect may be compounded for those who are not used to anesthetizing children .

However, Supraperiosteal infiltration has the advantages of easier administration when compared to block anesthesia, shorter anesthetic duration, and generally does not anesthetize the lips .

An ideal local anesthetic should provide maximum efficacy, through a minimal number of injections, using techniques that provide the least discomfort, causing negligible adverse effects .

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Single buccal infiltrationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Articaine buccal infiltration

    injecting local anaesthetic solution into the soft tissues of the buccal sulcus adjacent to the target tooth.

  • Inferior alveolar nerve blockProcedure or surgery

    Also called Lidocaine nerve block

    Injection of local anesthetic solution into the pterygomandibular space to access the inferior alveolar nerve before it enters the mandible.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assessment of intraoperative pain

    Wong Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale consists of a set of cartoon faces with varying facial expressions ranging from a smile/laughter to tears with numerical value from 0 to 5 where where zero indicates no pain and 5 indicate severe pain

    Measured: through treatment completion, an average of 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. intraoperative pain

    Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability scale with score from 0 to 10 where zero indicates no pain and 10 indicate severe pain

    Measured: through treatment completion, an average of 1 hour

  2. The onset of the anesthetic effect

    stopwatch

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  3. duration of the anesthetic effect

    stopwatch

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single buccal infiltration and Inferior alveolar nerve block in people with Anesthesia, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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 16 Nov 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Assessment of intraoperative pain (time frame: through treatment completion, an average of 1 hour). 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 16 Nov 2022.
