Sponsor's own description

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of the buccal infiltration technique with inferior alveolar nerve block technique for alleviation of intraoperative pain during pulpal treatment of second mandibular primary molars using 4% Articaine 1:100000.

The study started with 22 cooperative medically free patients aging 7 to 8 years old seeking treatment for bilateral deep carious mandibular second primary molars with no previous history of irreversible pulpitis, swelling, sinus tract or tooth mobility.

Randomization was achieved when each candidate was instructed to pick an opaque and sealed envelope from two separate black and opaque boxes. First box contained two envelopes to identify the side on which the operator will perform the treatment. While the second box contained another two envelopes describing which anesthetic technique will be implemented with the previously chosen side.

After clinical and radiographic examination, the patient received the pulpal treatment under the identified side and injecting technique. Videotaping of the pulpal treatment procedure was initiated after numbness was experienced by the child.

A blind assessor was assigned to review the videos and fill in the SEM pain scale to identify the pain and level of discomfort experienced by the child during the pulpal treatment.
