Official title
Pain Perception Associated With Administration of Buffered Lidocaine Versus Conventional Lidocaine in the Pediatric Dental Patient
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Local anesthetic buffered with sodium bicarbonate has been suggested to reduce pain, discomfort and onset time of local anesthesia on injection into tissue, compared to non-buffered solutions. Buffered local anesthesia has been used in medicine, however intraoral injections with buffered solutions are less common in dentistry. Most research has focused on adult perception of pain on administration of buffered local anesthetic. There have been few studies and inconclusive evidence to show that buffered lidocaine reduces the perception of pain on administration in children. The purpose of this interventional study is to assess pain reduction and onset time on injection of buffered 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in children.
