Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Kovacaine Mist, and Placebo for inducing pulpal anesthesia of the maxillary teeth in adults.
Detailed description
The study will employ a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-groups design to assess the safety and efficacy of Kovacaine Mist delivered intranasally for inducing pulpal anesthesia of maxillary teeth numbers 4 to 13 (maxillary right second premolar to maxillary left second premolar) sufficient to allow completion of the Study Dental Procedure. The maxillary teeth will be categorized in two subsets, anteriors (teeth numbers 6 to 11) and premolars (teeth numbers 4, 5, 12 and 13). The intent is to treat 150 subjects at 3 study sites, 2:1 randomization within each study site, and an overall goal of 100 subjects treated with Kovacaine Mist and 50 treated with placebo. Recruitment will be from diverse dental patient populations with at least 25% of subjects over 50 years of age. Randomization will be within strata defined by age (≤50 and \>50 years).
Interventions
The study drug is regional anesthetic delivered intranasally on the same side as the operative tooth
The placebo spray was identical in appearance to and was administered in the same volume and manner as the active ingredient.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male or female 18 years of age or older. * Need for an operative restorative dental procedure requiring local anesthesia for a single vital maxillary tooth (anterior or premolar tooth #4 to #13) with no evidence of pulpal pathology. * Normal lip, nose, eyelid, and cheek sensation. * Able to understand and sign the study informed consent document, communicate with the Investigators, and understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol. * Patency of the naris ipsilateral to the tooth undergoing the Study Dental Procedure (the treatment tooth). * Resting heart rate (HR) between 55 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), inclusive. * Seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) between 95 and 150 mm Hg, inclusive, and seated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between 60 and 100 mm Hg, inclusive.
Exclusion criteria
* Inadequately controlled hypertension (blood pressure greater than 150/100 mm Hg). * Inadequately controlled active thyroid disease of any type. * Frequent nose bleeds (≥ 5 per month). * Having received dental care requiring a local anesthetic within the 24 hours preceding study entry. * History of allergy to or intolerance of tetracaine, benzyl alcohol, other ester local anesthetics, or para-aminobenzoic acid (as found in PABA-containing sunscreen). * History of allergy or hypersensitivity to articaine, oxymetazoline, epinephrine, or sulfite preservatives. * Use of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor within the 3 weeks preceding study entry. * Nursing, pregnant, suspected of being pregnant, or trying to become pregnant.

Number of Participants Who Received Three Sprays and Completed the Study Dental Procedure Without Need for Rescue by Injection of Local Anesthetic.
A participant will receive two sprays and Study Dental Procedure will begin. If the participant does not have sufficient anesthesia a third sprays will be given. If after the third spray, the participant does not have sufficient anesthesia to complete the Study Dental Procedure, the participant is given a rescue injection of local anesthetic. This outcome analyzes just the participants who received the third spray and whether or not they completed the Study Dental Procedure without need for rescue by injection of local anesthesia.
Time frame: at 25 minutes, +3 minute window
Population: This analysis is only of the participants who received 3 sprays. It does not include participants who only received 2 sprays.
