Success of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block
Conditions
Brief summary
the study is conducted to assess the effect of adding magnesium sulphate to mepivacaine HCl compared to mepivacaine HCl alone on the success of inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molars
Interventions
patients will be given an IANB injection by adding 0.18 mL of 10% magnesium sulphate to 1.8 ml of 2% mepivacaine HCL with Levonordefrin HCl 1:20000/ 1.8 ml , after withdrawal of 0.18ml from the local anesthetic carpule by using a 100 IU insulin syringe
patients will be given an IANB injection by adding 0.18 mL of sterile distilled water to 1.8 ml of 2% mepivacaine HCL with Levonordefrin HCl 1:20000/ 1.8 ml , after withdrawal of 0.18ml from the local anesthetic carpule by using a 100 IU insulin syringe

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| success of inferior alveolar nerve block measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS) | 15 minutes after injection | Intensity of pain 15 minutes after injection during access cavity and initial file placement is recorded by the patient using a numerical rating scale(where 0= no pain ,1-3 =mild pain ,4-6= moderate pain and 7-9= severe pain ) |
