Comparison of Conventional Buccal Nerve Block Versus Buccal Nerve Trunk Block During Extraction of Posterior Mandibular Teeth

Overview

This randomised control trial will compare the efficacy of conventional buccal nerve block versus buccal trunk block using visual analogue scale to evaluate pain and additional anesthesia injection during extraction of mandibular molars.

Dental extraction of mandibular posterior teeth require buccal mucosa anesthesia for pain free extraction. Conventional buccal nerve block is the commonly used technique for anesthesia of buccal mucosa but often is not effective and requires multiple injections. This study aims to compare coventional buccal nerve block with buccal nerve trunk block on the basis of Efficacy of local anesthesia which will be determined by need for supplemental infiltration: Use of more than 1 anesthesia cartridges during procedure will be labelled as need for supplemental infiltration. Intraoperative pain perception: It was assessed while giving injection and during extraction of the tooth using the visual analog scale (VAS) scores. Score of more than 4 will be labelled as positive pain perception.
