Study Summary

This is a prospective, single-blind, parallel-design randomized controlled clinical trial that aims compare the effectiveness of articaine local infiltration to lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for restorative treatment of primary mandibular molars (PMM). Four to 10-year-old children who needed PMM restorations are enrolled according to inclusion criteria and randomly allocated into the articaine or lidocaine group. One operator administers all local anesthesia (LA). Using the Modified Behavioral Pain Scale, 15 trained and calibrated examiners, blinded to LA type, evaluate the subjects' reactions during LA administration and treatment. Children rate their experience using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Subjects' blood pressure and pulse throughout the visit are recorded. Results are statistically analyzed using independent t-tests, Mann Whitney-U, and Repeated Measures ANOVA (P\<0.05).

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome measure for this study is to compare the effectiveness of articaine local infiltration to lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for restorative treatment of primary mandibular molars (PMM).
