Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Single buccal infiltration with articaine would be sufficient for achieving lingual anaesthesia in all the children receiving it while all children in the lidocaine group required supplemental anaesthesia. The mean FPS value and MBPS would be found to be higher in lidocaine group.Timepoint: At baseline

Secondary
