patients will be given an IANB injection by adding 0.18 mL of 10% magnesium sulphate to 1.8 ml of 2% mepivacaine HCL with Levonordefrin HCl 1:20000/ 1.8 ml , after withdrawal of 0.18ml from the local anesthetic carpule by using a 100 IU insulin syringe
patients will be given an IANB injection by adding 0.18 mL of sterile distilled water to 1.8 ml of 2% mepivacaine HCL with Levonordefrin HCl 1:20000/ 1.8 ml , after withdrawal of 0.18ml from the local anesthetic carpule by using a 100 IU insulin syringe
success of inferior alveolar nerve block measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS)
Intensity of pain 15 minutes after injection during access cavity and initial file placement is recorded by the patient using a numerical rating scale(where 0= no pain ,1-3 =mild pain ,4-6= moderate pain and 7-9= severe pain )
Time frame: 15 minutes after injection
