EFFECTIVENESS OF LOCAL ANAESTHESIA SPRAY VS SUPRA PERIOSTEAL INFILTRATION IN MOBILE ANTERIOR / POSTERIOR TEETH – A COMPARATIVE STUDY .

Abstract

Objectives – To compare the Effectiveness of local Anesthesia spray vs supraperiosteal Inltration in mobile anterior or posterior teeth – a
comparative study Methods– The study is an observational study and is being carried out in outpatient section of Department of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery of a tertiary care hospital in Kelambakkam. 20 individuals diagnosed with periodontal pathologies in opposing quadrants
that presents as Grade III mobility are advised for extraction as treatment plan. One Group will receive 10% lidocaine spray around the periapical
and periodontal areas. Second Group will receive supraperiosteal Inltration. Pain tolerance will be recorded while performing the dental
extraction at 3, and 5 minutes and at end of the procedure. The pain tolerance between the teeth that was extracted by administration of local
anaesthetic spray and with those receiving supraperiosteal inltrations will be compared. Readings of the two groups will be recorded and
subjected to statistical analysis. The extraction procedure will be performed by a single operator. The study is single blinded. Results – There is a
signicant difference in the efcacy of 10% lignocaine spray and Supraperiosteal Inltration as in controlling pain during extraction of tooth, in
adults Conclusion: The efcacy of supraperiosteal Inltration was superior compared to 10% lignocaine spray respectively. The patients who
received supraperiosteal inltration perceived less pain during extraction of tooth when compared to patients who received 10% lignocaine spray.
There is a signicant difference in the efcacy of 10% lignocaine spray and Supraperiosteal Inltration as in controlling pain during extraction of
tooth, in adults. Hence, we advocate the use only of an inltration prior to any dental extraction.
