Checking the effectiveness of the infiltration technique of local anesthetic agent as an alternative to inferior dental nerve block during tooth extraction
Patients who need their Mandibular first Molar to be removed under local anaesthesia. The first group will receive 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine as lingual and buccal infiltration. In comparison, the second group will receive a conventional inferior alveolar nerve block technique with 2% lidocaine with epinephrine (1:80,000). Pain will be measured para-operatively using a verbal rating scale.
