Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the anaesthetic efficacy of 4% articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine/adrenaline 1:200000 versus 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with epinephrine/adrenaline 1:200000 in extractions of permanent mandibular posterior teeth.
Materials and methods: One hundred (100) patients were selected for the study in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Implantology. Patients were equally but randomly divided into two different groups: i) Group 1-4% articaine solution; ii) Group 2-2% lignocaine solution, both with equal concentration of epinephrine (1:200000). Standardized clinical parameters included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score for each, Pain on injection, Intraoperative Pain, Onset of anaesthesia, Duration of anaesthesia, Need of reanaesthesia.
