Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy of 2% lignocaine with buffered 2% lignocaine in the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) during periodontal flap surgery. Materials and methods: A total of 80 patients were included in the study and 0.6 mL of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate was added to 3 mL of LA solution and IANB was given. The parameters observed were onset of action duration of action and pain on injection, and the efficacy of lignocaine combined with sodium bicarbonate during the flap surgeries was determined. Results: For the onset of action, duration of action and pain on injection, the p-values are 0.4154, 0.673, and 0.897, respectively, which are >0.05, implying no statistically significant difference. Conclusion: The results have concluded that there was reduced pain on injection with a faster onset of action. Clinical relevance: Buffered lignocaine was effective in reducing pain on injection and prolonging the duration of action during periodontal flap surgery.
