“…Finally, a higher confidence level in depositing LA at a proper rate was also achieved when smartphone technology was used. Rapid injection of LA can cause significant discomfort, as well as an increased risk of anesthetic overdose 35 . A previous study using a video camera filming method has identified different injection speeds of simulated LA administration between experienced dental practitioners and students 37 .…”

Objectives To examine the effect of individualized smartphone‐recorded video review on dental student confidence in performing local anesthesia (LA) techniques, in a manikin‐based simulation environment. Methods All University of Minnesota second‐year dental students were invited to participate in this randomized trial developed following the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement, in 2020. With a parallel trial design, 104 students were randomly divided into two groups (52 per group) prior to the learning experience. Students and researchers were not blinded to group assignments. All students learned LA techniques in the same manikin‐based simulation setting. The experimental group incorporated individualized smartphone filming into simulation training, and the control group did not. A paper‐based questionnaire with 19 5‐point Likert scale questions assessed the students’ self‐rated confidence levels in LA techniques before, immediately after, and approximately one month after the training. Results The final sample included 45 students in the experimental group (48.4%) and 48 in the control group (51.6%). In both groups, student confidence in performing LA techniques increased after completion of the training (p < 0.001), with no harm reported. The experimental group reported greater confidence in inferior alveolar nerve injection (p = 0.038), and in local anesthetic administration rate (p = 0.029), compared with the control group. Conclusions This study suggested that the incorporation of smartphone‐recorded video review in simulation training is beneficial for learning LA techniques. Further investigation on teaching methods to enhance student confidence and performance in LA administration is indicated.

“…The newly introduced 4% Artpharmadent was assigned as the intervention because it caught the eyes of the research team due to the advantage of being available in the local markets with reduced cost in comparison to the foreign articaine brands that have a higher cost and are not guaranteed to be available in local markets all the time. Also, articaine has the advantage of having high penetration capability due to the presence of thiopene ring in its chemical structure so achieving a rapid onset and faster dental anesthesia in comparison to mepivacaine ( 14,15,16) . Two percent Mepecaine-L was chosen as a control group as it is one of the most widely used anesthetic solutions in dentistry and the most widely used anesthetic solution in Egypt due to its availability all the time and its low price.…”

Aim:The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of 4% Artpharmadent anesthetic solution compared to 2% Mepecaine-L anesthetic solution in extraction of badly decayed mandibular first primary molar for infiltration in children aged from 6 to 8 years.Methodology: Twenty children with 20 badly decayed mandibular first primary molars indicated for extraction divided randomly into two equal groups (n= 10), group A received 4% Artpharmadent and group B received 2% Mepecaine-L anesthetic solution for infiltration. Intraoperative pain, the need for supplemental injection during extraction, adverse effects following the anesthetic injection, and the clinical success of the treatment were evaluated for both groups.Results: Both groups showed nearly similar results regarding intraoperative pain using Wong-Baker Face Pain Scale (WBFPS), and Sound, eyes, and motor (SEM) scale, regarding the need for supplemental injection during the extraction, and the adverse effects following the anesthetic injection (non-significant difference statistically).Conclusions: Both the 4% Artpharmadent and 2% Mepecaine-L are equally effective in controlling intraoperative pain during the extraction of mandibular molars and both are safe when used in children.

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience of varying degrees often caused by biological, social and psychological factors. Local anesthetics are amphipathic molecules that when administered in sufficient concentration, inhibit pain transmission. As the administration of local anesthetics is inevitable in routine dental treatments, in-depth knowledge about local anesthesia, its effects on the body and how the body reacts to the drug is of paramount importance. This review article highlights the key aspects of local anesthesia including its role in periodontal therapy. Key words: Dental pain, Local Anesthesia, LA in Periodontics, LA techniques, Lidocaine, Epinephrine.
