Abstract:
The safety and efficiency of 4% articaine compared to 2% lidocaine for tooth extraction is of interest to dentists. Hence, a total of 30 patients requiring premolar tooth extraction for orthodontics reason were randomly divided into 2 groups namely (1) articaine and (2) lidocaine. Parameters such as onset of action, duration of anaesthesia and need to re-anesthetize at the surgical zone are evaluated. Pain evaluation was done with visual analog scale (VAS). Data shows that 4% articaine had a shorter onset of action and longer duration of anaesthesia compared to lidocaine.

Local Anesthetics: Mechanism of Action
Local anesthetics are amphiphilic molecules consisting of a hydrophobic aromatic part linked to a hydrophilic group by an ester or amide linkage. They are weak bases and are usually available as salts, which increases their solubility and stability. Once administered, LAs exist in the body either...
