Summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether inferior alveolar nerve block of ketorolac and
lidocaine would improve the success rate in teeth with symptomatic irreversible Pulpitis.
Design: In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, sixty healthy adult volunteers with
including criteria have been randomly divided into two groups (n=30). Following the 5 minutes
of the first IANB using 1.8 ml 2% lidocaine 2% containing 1:100000, the patients of case
group have received a standard inferior alveolar nerve block injection that used 1 ml
ketorolac tromethamine 30 mg/ml. The patients of the control group received a sham injection.
After achieving the lip numbness, access preparation initiated after 15 minutes of initial
IANB with two negative responses to the electric pulp test. Any pain during caries and dentin
removal, access cavity preparation, and root canal preparation have been recorded using
analog visual scale (HP-VAS). The success was considered as none or mild pain during
treatment. The data have been analyzed using Mann-U-Whitney test.
Intervention main outcome measures: Pain during caries and dentin removal access cavity
preparation, and root canal preparation using VAS.
