Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Quality of effect, duration of effect and patient perception are the primary objectives of this study in a comparison of infiltration anesthesia with intraligamentary anesthesia and are assessed perioperatively, immediately postoperatively and on the first postoperative day using a Likert scale. After anesthesia has been administered, the quality of the effect is checked on the tooth or mucosa before the start of the procedure and evaluated by the patient. A new survey should be carried out immediately after the procedure. The patient's perception is assessed immediately after the end of the procedure and on the 1st day postoperatively. The questionnaire on the first postoperative day also asks about the duration of the anesthesia. The quality of the effect is assessed by ticking four different boxes with the options “complete”, “sufficient”, “incomplete” or “none”. Patients are also asked to rate the pain of the extraction on a Likert scale from 0 to 10 immediately after the procedure, with 0 meaning “no pain at all” and 10 meaning “very severe pain”. The duration of effect is noted on the documentation form during the telephone survey on the 1st day postoperatively. Patient satisfaction/patient perception is also queried during the telephone call on the 1st day postoperatively and noted using a Likert scale from 0 “not at all satisfied” to 10 “very satisfied” according to the patient.	—
