Trial summary

Generally it is accepted that infiltrative anesthesia (IA) is not sufficient for extraction of lower molars and that an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is needed. In this study, it was aimed to compare the effectiveness of IANB and IA in extraction of devitalized mandibular molars. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Infiltrative Anesthesia With Lidocaine Can Replace The Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block In Extraction of Devitalized Mandibular Molar Teeth

Generally it is accepted that infiltrative anesthesia (IA) is not sufficient for extraction of lower molars and that an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is needed. In this study, it was aimed to compare the effectiveness of IANB and IA in extraction of devitalized mandibular molars.

Sixty subjects are randomly divided into study (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. Lidocaine with epinephrine is used for all injections. In the study group only vestibular and lingual IA will be used. In the control group, IANB will be applied. Teeth were extracted as usual. The pain felt during extraction will be compared.

Read the detailed description

It has been taught in dental curricula that using only infiltrative anesthesia (IA) is not sufficient for extraction of lower molars and that an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is needed. However, it is also well-known that dental implants can be inserted into mandibular posterior region using only IA.

It can be claimed that there is no difference regarding the need for anesthesia between extracting a devitalized tooth and placing an implant in the same area. In this study, it was aimed to compare the effectiveness of IANB and IA in extraction of mandibular molars that had previously undergone root canal treatment.

The study is as a prospective, randomized, and non blinded clinical trial. All procedures are carried out at Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Dentistry. The inclusion criteria are: age > 18 years, the tooth to be extracted is a mandibular first or second molar with a previously completed root canal treatment. The patients allergic to local anesthetics, those with severely mobile teeth, those had severe pain due to an acute infection, and the patients using psychotropic drugs are excluded.

Sixty subjects are randomly divided into study (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. An anesthetic solution containing 20 mg/mL of lidocaine and 0.0125 mg/mL of epinephrine was used in all subjects. In the study group only vestibular and lingual IA will be used. In the control group, IANB will be applied. The teeth will be extracted as usual. Using a visual analog scale (VAS), the pain felt during extraction will be separately recorded. Mann-Whitney U test will be used for statistical analysis. Statistical significance is defined as p<.05.

    Also called Lidocaine

    Local anesthesia

Study groups in NCT06439186
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AnesthesiaActive comparatorIn the first group, inferior alveolar anesthesia is used. In the second group, infiltrative anesthesia is used. In both groups, one dose of lidocaine HCl contained in 2 mL ampule is used. It is a standard drug.
Receives: Drug: Lidocain
tooth extraction painActive comparatorIn both groups, the patient is asked to evaluate the pain she/he experienced during the extraction. This evaluation is done immediately after the extraction, by using a "visual analogue scale" (detailed in other sections of this trial record).
Receives: Drug: Lidocain

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual analogue scale

    This is a 100 mm linear scale used to measure pain. On the left end is a description: "No pain at all. On the right end, there is the description "The worst pain imaginable." The patient will be asked to mark the pain on this line and then the distance from the left end to the mark will be measured.

    Measured: Immediately after the tooth extraction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lidocain in people with Local Infiltration, run by Konya Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 3 Jun 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Visual analogue scale (time frame: Immediately after the tooth extraction.). 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 3 Jun 2024.
