Summary

Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis is a painful condition that requires anesthesia to perform effective dental procedures. The mental nerve block and inferior alveolar nerve block are two commonly used techniques for achieving anesthesia in the mandibular teeth.

Study design: This randomized clinical trial study Number of participants: 96 participants which will be randomly divided into two groups: MINB and IANB.

Inclusion criteria: Participants with mandibular premolars or lower anterior experiencing sharp and persistent pain in response to thermal stimuli and an electric pulp tester, as well as bleeding during access opening, will be included.

Exclusion criteria: Participants with a medical history, allergies or contraindications to the local anesthetic, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those taking pain-affecting medication, or those experiencing pain in more than one tooth will be excluded.

Both techniques will use 2% lidocaine and adrenaline 1:80,000. Age, gender, and the efficacy of anesthesia will be recorded in both groups. The chi-square test will be used for comparison.

Conditions

  • Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

inferior alveolar nerve block

After informed consent, the needle will be inserted into the muco-buccal fold adjacent to the mandibular molars and advanced it towards the mandibular foramen, aiming slightly anteriorly and superiorly. Aspirating to check for blood or resistance, the needle will be repositioned if either was present. Once the needle will be correctly positioned, the dental practitioner will slowly inject 1.8-1.9 mL of the anesthetic solution.

PROCEDURE

mental nerve block

After informed consent, the needle will be inserted into the buccal fold between the lower premolars. Aspirating to check for blood or resistance. Once needle is correctly positioned, 0.6-0.9 ml of the anesthetic solution will be deposited.
