In this study 60 adult patients will participate and divided into two groups (30 for each). The first group will be anesthetized using 2 % lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline by inferior alveolar nerve block technique, while the second group will be anesthetized using 4 % articaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline via buccal and lingual infiltration technique in posterior teeth area. Then patients will wait for five minutes after receiving a local anesthetic injection before extraction could begin. After that every tooth's buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal surfaces will be examined using a disposable dental explorer. Then by visual analog scale (VAS) which provides accessible, sensitive, valid, and reliable means to measure a variety of subjective parameters the pain score will be registered during tooth extraction. Female patients who are breastfeeding or pregnant, those allergic to local anesthetics, lacking full mental ability, currently taking opioids, having an infection at the extraction site, or those under the influence of medicines that alter their perception of pain will be excluded from the study.

visual analog scale (VAS)
It usually is a horizontal line, 100 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end, for example, that represent the severity of symptoms from 0 "no symptoms" to 10 "very severe symptoms." The patient marks on the line the point that the patient believes represents his or her perception of his or her current state.
