An interventional study of Buccal infiltration and Inferior alveolar nerve block in Buccal Infiltration Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Articaine, sponsored by Melaka Manipal Medical College. Completed at 1 site in Malaysia. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-10-02.

This study compares the effectiveness of two techniques of local anesthesia in the extraction of mandibular teeth. One group received inferior alveolar nerve block and the other group received buccal infiltration of 4% Articaine
Inferior alveolar nerve block is the commonly used local anesthetic injection technique for extraction of mandibular teeth. Buccal infiltration technique alone is considered to be ineffective in treating mandibular teeth due to the thickness of buccal cortical plate. However, buccal infiltration, if provided with an agent with higher penetration capability, may be used instead of Inferior alveolar nerve block. Articaine, due to its thiophene ring, has higher liposolubility and bony diffusion than any other agent.
