Summary
The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of articaine in controlling self-reported pain compared with conventional lidocaine anesthesia in children requiring extraction of deciduous maxillary molars. Only one extraction will be performed in each child. At least two consultations will be necessary to carry out the present controlled, randomized, and blinded study. All participants will be treated by the same dentist. Self-reported pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale.
