Comparative Evaluation of Two Different Topical Anesthetic Agents against Pain Associated with Intraoral Injections in Pediatric Dental Patients.
Journal of Pharmacy & Bioallied Sciences 2024 Februrary
AIM: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of two topical anesthetics in minimizing the discomfort related to intraoral injections.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: For the study, 40 healthy kids between the ages of 6 and 10 were chosen. To the injection site, two topical anesthetic products were applied: lignocaine hydrochloride gel and benzocaine 20% gel. The effectiveness of the topical agents was evaluated using a four-point scale, which was previously used by Topçuoglu and colleagues to evaluate pain.
RESULT: A significant difference between the lignocaine group (2.1 ± 0.5) and the benzocaine group (1.2 ± 0.6) was found on a four-point scale ( P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Benzocaine demonstrates a higher degree of efficacy in comparison with lignocaine. However, additional research is necessary to ascertain the result of this study.
