5. Conclusions
SYMPTOMATIC IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS, COMPLICATIONS
The AE of Articaine is comparable to that of Lidocaine in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Articaine may, therefore, be a suitable alternative to Lidocaine for obtaining pulpal anesthesia during endodontic therapy, via IANB. However, it is prudent to conduct further research to determine the AE of Articaine in pediatric and geriatric patients, and to rule out the possibility of post-operative complications.
