Summary

Infiltration (injecting next to the tooth) injections are common in dentistry and a number of studies have shown that articaine anesthetic, when injected next to a lower molar, is more effective than a local anesthetic injection of lidocaine. However success rates have not been as high as hoped for. No objective study has addressed the success rate of buffering articaine in a mandibular primary buccal infiltration of the first molar. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, crossover study is to compare the degree of pulpal anesthesia obtained with a buffered 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine solution versus a non-buffered 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine solution as a primary infiltration in the mandibular first molar. The investigators will also record the pain of injection and postoperative pain.
