摘要

Objective

To compare buffered 1% articaine/epinephrine 1:400,000 to unbuffered 4% articaine/epinephrine 1:200,000, the efficacy, onset, and duration of both pulpal and soft tissue anesthesia, as well as pain during puncture and injection, were evaluated.

Methods

Clinical trial designed as a crossover, double-blind, randomized study. Forty-one volunteers received supra-periosteal infiltrative local anesthesia in the upper canine region across two sessions, using 1.8 mL of different anesthetic solutions. The onset and duration of pulpal anesthesia were assessed using the electric pulp test, while soft tissue pain thresholds were evaluated with a pressure esthesiometer. Pain scores during puncture and discomfort during injection were recorded using the visual analog scale (VAS). All researchers, volunteers, and the statistician were blinded to the treatment allocations.

Results

No significant differences (Wilcoxon, p 0.05) were observed between the two anesthetic solutions regarding the onset and duration of soft tissue anesthesia or the duration of pulpal anesthesia. However, the onset of pulpal anesthesia was significantly longer (p = 0.036) for the buffered 1% articaine. Unbuffered 4% articaine resulted in greater pain during injection (p = 0.001).

Conclusions

The buffered solution of 1% articaine with epinephrine 1:400,000 showed comparable anesthetic properties and reduced discomfort during injection compared to the commercial 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:200,000.
