4.1. Strengths of the Study
pulpal necrosis
SYMPTOMATIC IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS
The present research is among the few randomized controlled trials that were conducted to compare the efficacy of Lidocaine, and Articaine during ACP and root canal II, when administered as IANB in a Pakistani sub-population. Another distinctive point is that the current RCT has compared the effectiveness of both types of anesthetic agents across mandibular molar as well as premolar teeth. Therefore, despite being statistically insignificant, the results of this study offer a more extensive database for comparing and analyzing the effectiveness of anesthetic agents across various types of teeth. Furthermore, patients with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis as well as those with pulpal necrosis were excluded from the sample to prevent the possibility of error regarding AE.
