ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to compare the anesthetic effect between lidocaine and articaine. Hypothesis: Articaine hydrochloride has better anesthetic effect. Material and methods: Commercial cartridges of lidocaine (Xylocaine) and articaine (Medicaine) were used. Several procedures on healthy patients with ages 18 to 30 years and mean of 26 years. Only one cartridge of anesthetic solution was used per procedure by the same operator. Data concerning latency time, duration of anesthesia as well as the degree of pain experienced by the patient was recorded. Results: Better efficacy of articaine hydrochloride over lidocaine having longer duration, well tolerated by patients and reports of absence of pain to the dentist. Conclusion: Articaine hydrochloride has several advantages over the lidocaine in relationship to pain control and lower procedure time.
