About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Local Anesthetic Infiltration With Articaine 4% in Comparison to Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block With Lidocaine 2% for Mandibular 1st Molar Extraction

Checking the effectiveness of the infiltration technique of local anesthetic agent as an alternative to inferior dental nerve block during tooth extraction

Read the detailed description

Patients who need their Mandibular first Molar to be removed under local anaesthesia. The first group will receive 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine as lingual and buccal infiltration. In comparison, the second group will receive a conventional inferior alveolar nerve block technique with 2% lidocaine with epinephrine (1:80,000). Pain will be measured para-operatively using a verbal rating scale.

What participants receive

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

  • Infiltration with Articain 4%Procedure or surgery

    The experimental group of patients that are diagnosed for tooth extraction of mandibular 1st. molar will undergo extraction using an infiltration technique for local anaesthesia. In contrast to the conventional group that will receive Inferior alveolar nerve block

  • Inferior Alveolar Nerve BlockProcedure or surgery

    Also called Regional Anaesthesia

    This group will receive a conventional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique with 2% lidocaine with epinephrine (1:80,000) for tooth extraction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Verbal Pain Rating Scale

    Pain during tooth extraction will be measured immediately after the procedure is completed using a verbal rating scale. The zero rate will be given when the patient feels no pain; the rating degree will increase as the pain severity becomes more severe. According to the following scale:

    0 No hurt

    1. Slight pain
    2. Moderate pain
    3. Intense pain
    4. Extremely painful

    Measured: during the intervention/procedure/surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Infiltration with Articain 4% and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in people with Tooth Extraction, run by Sinan A. Shwailiya at 2 sites in Iraq.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 9 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Iraq. 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?

Verbal Pain Rating Scale (time frame: during the intervention/procedure/surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06766981, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Apr 2025.
