ClinConnect Summary

The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in efficacy of the intraligamentary anaesthetic technique and the inferior alveolar nerve block for mandibular posterior tooth extraction cases. Pain intensity, duration of anaesthesia, incidence of post-operative dry socket, success rates, onset of anaesthesia were examined. It was done in a split-mouth method so that two different techniques were used in the same patient, thus minimizing individual variations.

• Exclusion Criteria:
• • For patients: pregnancy, immunological compromise, systemic conditions requiring special considerations and non-compliance.
• • The exclusion criteria for individual teeth were: acutely infected teeth or any teeth with the instances of expression of pus through sinus tracts or the gingival sulcus were excluded.
