BACKGROUND The available literature confirms the effectiveness of intraligamentary injections equal to nerve blocks and articaine equal to lignocaine with better depth of penetration for single tooth pulpectomy procedures with less postoperative soft tissue trauma. An advancement in the field of local anesthesia delivery is the Single Tooth Anesthesia-Wand (STA-Wand) which is relatively pain-fr...

Background: Lidocaine, the first commercialized amide local anesthetic, is still the most widely used anesthetic in some countries. It is considered as a reference for new local anesthetics. Bupivacaine, an amide-type local anesthetic, provides prolonged analgesia and is indicated when post-operative pain is anticipated. Aim: To compare efficacy of lidocaine with and without bupivacaine as a de...

introdouction: injection of local anesthesia during dental procedures can induce metabolic changes. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the serum blood glucose levels after the injection of lidocaine with a vasoconstrictor during tooth extraction. materials and methods: in this clinical trial study, we enrolled 60 patients. we extracted mandibular teeth by using inferior al...

Selective nerve root blocks (SNRB) have been used for many years as a diagnostic tool in patients with low back pain with radicular symptoms. However the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity of these blocks has been questioned as a screening tool for spine surgery. The utility of current SNRB techniques relies primarily on the relief of pain when local anesthetic is injected. However, patient...
