- Abstract
Aim The study was undertaken to compare the onset and duration of anesthesia of 4% articaine with epinephrine (1:1,00,000) versus 2% lidocaine with epinephrine (1:1,00,000) during exodontia. Methods Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria 100 individuals participated in this single centre, randomized, controlled, single-blind, cross over study design. Each patient required similar type of extractions bilaterally which was performed in two separate visits. During one appointment on one side they received 4% Articaine with 1:100000epinephrine and in the next on the other side they received Lidocaine with 1:100000 epinephrine. Parameters which were evaluated and compared were onset of anesthesia and duration of post operative anesthesia. Results There was a significant difference between 4% articaine and 2% lidocaine in terms of onset of subjective and objective symptoms and onset of pulpal anesthesia. This shows that 4% articaine has less duration of onset of anesthesia as compared to 2% lidocaine. The mean difference in the anesthetic duration between the two agents was 1.19760 hour and this was statistically as well as clinically a significant difference which shows the 4% articaine has longer duration of anesthesia as compared to 2% lidocaine.
