- Abstract
Local anesthetics are the safest and most effective drugs employed for analgesia and pain management. Ways to improve the clinical efficacy of local anesthetics, particularly lignocaine, is a subject of extensive research and debate. Raising the pH of the lignocaine solution prior to its use has been a popular choice and has received considerable attention where soft-tissue surgery is performed. Hence, an attempt is made in this study to compare in vivo and ex vivo alkalinization and evaluate the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate in creating a favorable environment for lignocaine to act around the inflamed and infected pulpal and periapical tissues of the mandibular teeth for painless exodontia.
