Effectiveness of Local Infiltration of Plain Lignocaine vs Lignocaine with Adrenaline for the Extraction.
Mother & Child Jan ;34(3):106-9.

This study was done to determine the effectiveness of plain lignocaine infiltration as compared to lignocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline for the extraction of bicuspid teeth in the lower jaw on randomnly selected twenty healthy orthodontic patients between the ages of 14 to 20 years as subjects for this study. In this study infiltrations with plain lignocaine were given on the buccal and the lingual sides of the bicuspid that was to be extracted. Branches of the mental and the buccal nerves were to be anaesthetized on the buccal side of the tooth and on the lingual side there were twigs from the lingual nerve. On the opposite sides of the jaw, the other tooth was extracted by anaesthetizing the area with lignocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline.It was concluded from this study that the addition of adrenaline greatly enhances the penetrating ability of lignocaine and that the anaesthetic effect obtained by lignocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline is much superior to the effect obtained by plain lignocaine.
