Abstract
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of topical application of 2% lignocaine local anesthetic agent, eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) and clove based topical anesthetic agent before intraoral injection in children. subjects and methods: A total of 96 children were selected on their need for infiltration anesthesia for operative procedures divided into three groups. Thirty-two Subjects received into EMLA cream as topical anesthetic agent. Thirty-two Subjects received Clove Oil gel based as topical anesthetic agent. Thirty-two Subjects received into Lidocaine cream as topical anesthetic agent. All groups received infiltration injections. Pain was evaluated using Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale and SEM scale by observing the child behavior during anesthesia administration. Results: All three types of topical anesthetic agents decreased pain associated with a local anesthetic injection delivered via infiltration. Group A(EMLA)and Group B (Clove oil) had significantly lower pain scores than those in the Lidocaine group. Conclusion: Both Group A and Group B had better results in relief of pain than Group C.
