intraoperative pain
INFILTRATION
The favorable clinical outcomes achieved in this study demonstrate that the use of a solitary labial infiltration during the extraction of mandibular anterior teeth without an additional lingual injection is an effective anastatic option for intraoperative pain control. Although the anesthetic effects of a solitary buccal infiltration of articaine or lidocaine for the extraction of mandibular anterior teeth were comparable, the use of 4% articaine would have more effective and predictable outcomes, especially in the canine region, as it provides an improved ability to diffuse through soft and hard tissues.
