Clinical Trial

Active, Not Recruiting Early Phase 1
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to assess whether the application of 5% topical lidocaine before infiltration anesthesia reduces pain in patients undergoing tooth extraction. A total of 120 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either infiltration anesthesia alone or infiltration anesthesia preceded by topical lidocaine. Pain will be evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at predetermined intervals following the procedure. The study seeks to determine the effectiveness of topical anesthesia as a simple adjunctive measure for improving patient comfort and reducing injection-related pain during routine dental extractions. Findings from this research may help optimize pain management strategies and enhance the overall patient experience in dental practice.
