Brief summary

A Spilt Mouth Clinical Comparative Evaluation Of The Electronic Anesthetic Efficacy Comparison of traditional local anesthesia with electronic local anesthesia in terms of the ability to reduce pain during injection and the duration of the anesthetic effect

Detailed description

Study Design: The mouth will be split in half using a split mouth study. The lower anterior teeth will be injected with a conventional local anesthetic syringe on one side, and the patient will be injected with an electronic anesthetic syringe on the other side. The study will be conducted on a sample of volunteers aged 18 to 30 years at the Faculty of Dentistry at Al-Andalus University. The objectives and procedure will be explained to each group of patients, and informed consent will be obtained from each patient to accept the research procedures. A 2% non-vasoconstrictor lidocaine local anesthetic will be used for all patients.

Interventions

DRUGExperimental group: Electronic syringe therapeutic intervention arm

Intraoral Mental nerve block on both sides (experimental and control). A Carpule syringe with an aspiration and short needles 30G were used on the control side, while Smartject was used on the experimental side

DRUGcontrol group: therapeutic intervention using a traditional syringe

During the appointment, the subjects randomly received 1.8 ml of 2% plain lidocaine for the Intraoral Mental nerve block on both sides (experimental and control). A Carpule syringe with an aspiration and short needles 30G were used on the control side

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Onset time2 monthwas considered as the period between the end of the injection and the first subsequent Onset time was considered as the period between the end of the injection and the first subsequent readings without response. After this period, the tooth was tested every 10 minutes until readings returned to the baseline threshold. Each subject was asked to record the time of return to normal sensation in the lower lip

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)2 monthVAS uses a straight horizontal line of extent measuring 10 cm. The ends state the maximum limit of pain orientated from the best (right) to the worst (left) so that the patient can indicate the intensity of the pain (0-100). The intensity of pain is made by measuring the dimension from no pain to very severe pain based on the patient's signs
