Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of the buccal infiltration technique with inferior alveolar nerve block technique for alleviation of intraoperative pain during pulpal treatment of second mandibular primary molars using 4% Articaine1:100000. The study started with 22 cooperative medically free patients in each group, one group includes 6 to 7 years old participants and the second group includes <7 to 8 years old participants seeking treatment for bilateral deep carious lesions in their second primary molars with no previous history of irreversible pulpitis, swelling, sinus tract or tooth mobility. All candidates fulfilled the eligibility criteria. At the end of the study two patients in the first age group (6-7) years and four patients of the second age group (>7-8) years failed to attend the second visit. Randomization was achieved when each candidate was instructed to pick an opaque and sealed envelope from two separate black and opaque boxes. First box contained two envelopes to identify the side on which the operator will perform the treatment. While the second box contained another two envelopes describing which anesthetic technique will be implemented with the previously chosen side. After clinical and radiographic examination, the patient received the pulpal treatment under the identified side and injecting technique
