Comparing two volumes of Articaine for dental extractions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two different volumes of buccal infiltration of Articaine, a local anesthetic, for the extraction of mandibular posterior teeth. Participants will receive either 1.8 ml or 3.6 ml of 4% Articaine to determine which volume provides better anesthesia. The study aims to address complications associated with the inferior alveolar nerve block technique by utilizing a safer and less painful local infiltration method. The research will involve healthy patients aged 18 and older who require dental extractions.
