ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of two different ways of using a local anesthetic called lignocaine for dental procedures involving mandibular molars, which are the back teeth in the lower jaw. Specifically, the trial compares using warm lignocaine versus regular (conventional) lignocaine to see which one works better and faster in numbing the area for dental work. The goal is to find out which method helps patients feel less pain during their dental treatments.
To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 50 years old and have permanent mandibular molars with inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) that aren't swollen or draining. You should be in good health and able to attend follow-up appointments. However, if you're taking pain medications or antibiotics, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain dental issues, you won't be eligible for this study. If you join, you can expect to receive either warm or conventional lignocaine, and the researchers will monitor how well it works for you. Your participation will help improve pain management in dental care for future patients.
