Evaluation of Buffered Local Anesthesia in Dental Extraction.

Evaluation of Buffered Local Anesthesia in Dental Extraction: A Randomized Clinical Study.

To compare pain during injection, onset of anesthesia and effectiveness of anesthesia using buffered versus non- buffered 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline in dental extraction.

The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, single-blinded study, the sample will include 100 patients (extraction) who need dental extraction of upper teeth (premolar and molar teeth). The predictor variable is the use of buffered 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline and non-buffered 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline. The patients will be randomly assigned into two groups of 50 patients each using Microsoft Excel 2016; the first group (study group) will undergo dental extraction after receiving buffered 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline, the second group (control group) will undergo dental extraction after receiving non-buffered 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline. The outcome variables include pain during injection, onset of anesthesia and effectiveness of anesthesia on buffered and non-buffered group.
