Comparison of The Effectiveness of Intraligamentary and Mandibular Anesthesia on Mandibular Molar Teeth

This study aimed to compare the effects of mandibular and intraligamentary anesthesia techniques on pain scores during restorative treatment of permanent mandibular molars in pediatric patients. Additionally, comparing the anesthesia techniques in terms of injection pain, the success of anesthesia, postoperative complications, and the subjects' preference was planned. This randomized, controlled, cross-over, single-blind, split-mouth study was conducted on 78 subjects aged 6 to 12 years. Subjects with enamel-dentin caries on the bilateral permanent mandibular molar were included.
