To clinically evaluate whether 4% articaine administered alone as a single buccal infiltration in deciduous maxillary tooth extraction can provide favorable palatal anesthesia compared to buccal and palatal infiltrations using 2% lidocaine.
A prospective, double-blind, split-mouth, randomized controlled clinical study was carried out on 60 children comprising 36 females and 24 males in the age group of 5-10 years. During two separate appointments, children randomly received either 4% articaine with 1:1,00,000 epinephrine (group I-experimental) as buccal infiltration alone, or 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine (group II-control) as buccal plus palatal infiltration. Second local anesthetic agent was administered at least 1 week apart from first administration. Efficacy of anesthesia was assessed using subjective [Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS)] and objective [sound, eye, motor (SEM)] scales along with occurrence of any adverse effects.
For infiltration procedure, 4% articaine (group I) had statistically highly significant ( < 0.001) pain scores on WBFPS as well as on SEM scale compared to 2% lidocaine (group II). According to WBFPS ( = 0.43) and SEM ( = 0.32) scores, the pain on extraction between 4% articaine and 2% lidocaine was statistically insignificant.
About 4% articaine buccal infiltration showed better clinical anesthetic efficacy, thus providing effective palatal anesthesia due to its enhanced vestibule-palatal diffusion with no significant postanesthetic complications. Hence, articaine can be used as an alternative to lidocaine in children for extractions of deciduous maxillary teeth.

临床评估在拔除上颌乳牙时,单独使用4%阿替卡因进行单次颊侧浸润麻醉与使用2%利多卡因进行颊侧和腭侧浸润麻醉相比,是否能提供良好的腭部麻醉效果。
对60名5至10岁的儿童进行了一项前瞻性、双盲、口内对照、随机对照临床研究,其中包括36名女性和24名男性。在两次单独的就诊过程中,儿童随机接受以下两种麻醉方式之一:单独使用含1:1,000,000肾上腺素的4%阿替卡因进行颊侧浸润麻醉(第一组 - 实验组),或使用含1:80,000肾上腺素的2%利多卡因进行颊侧加腭侧浸润麻醉(第二组 - 对照组)。第二次局部麻醉剂的给药时间与第一次给药至少间隔1周。使用主观[面部表情疼痛量表(WBFPS)]和客观[声音、眼睛、动作(SEM)]量表评估麻醉效果,并观察是否出现任何不良反应。
在浸润操作过程中,与2%利多卡因(第二组)相比,4%阿替卡因(第一组)在WBFPS和SEM量表上的疼痛评分在统计学上具有高度显著性(<0.001)。根据WBFPS(=0.43)和SEM(=0.32)评分,4%阿替卡因和2%利多卡因在拔牙时的疼痛在统计学上无显著差异。
约4%阿替卡因颊侧浸润显示出更好的临床麻醉效果,由于其在前庭 - 腭部的扩散增强,从而提供了有效的腭部麻醉,且无明显的麻醉后并发症。因此,在儿童拔除上颌乳牙时,阿替卡因可作为利多卡因的替代品。
