ABSTRACT
Aim:
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of two topical anesthetics in minimizing the discomfort related to intraoral injections. Material andMethod:
For the study, 40 healthy kids between the ages of 6 and 10 were chosen. To the injection site, two topical anesthetic products were applied lignocaine hydrochloride gel and benzocaine 20% gel. The effectiveness of the topical agents was evaluated using a four-point scale, which was previously used by Topçuoglu and colleagues to evaluate pain.Result:
A significant difference between the lignocaine group (2.1 ± 0.5) and the benzocaine group (1.2 ± 0.6) was found on a four-point scale (P < 0.05).Conclusion:
Benzocaine demonstrates a higher degree of efficacy in comparison with lignocaine. However, additional research is necessary to ascertain the result of this study.
