The Anesthetic Efficacy of Lidocaine and Articaine as Buccal Injection for Maxillary Premolar Teeth Extraction

In the current study, the sample size (200) patients were distributed into two groups, group (A), 100 patients extracted upper premolar teeth by using 1.8 mL cartridges of 4% articaine hydrochloride with 1:100,000 epinephrine (Artheek, Colombia) as a buccal injection without palatal injection, and Group (B), 100 patients were removed upper premolar teeth by using Injectable local anesthetic agents included; 1.8 mL cartridges of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1:80,000 epinephrine (Huons, Korea) as a buccal and palatal injection, the pain assessment after extraction was assessed by using (vas) visual analog scale, comparison between the outcomes by the two groups were evaluated, according to many variables (age, gender, extracted tooth, type of anesthesia, extraction duration).
