Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To increase the anesthetic efficacy of the inferior alveolar nerve block with 4% articaine with 1:100000 epinephrine by the preoperative administration of 50 mg of submucous tramadol in patients with irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molars;Secondary Objective: Enhance the effect of the local anesthetic by the administration of tramadol Assessement of the postoperative analgesic effect of tramadol To provide a greater intra and preoperative analgesia with the local administration of tramadol;Primary end point(s): The primary end point in this trial is to increase the success of the inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with irreversible pulpitis of a mandibular molar in at least a 30%;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: It's assumed that data for the primary end point could be analyzed after six months from the begining of the trial | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - To eliminate the need to take postoperative medication - To increase the suration of the local anesthetic solution.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The same as for the primary end point | — |
