The objective was to evaluate pain experience of the patient after administration of local anesthesia in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with and without pre-medication Patients were diagnosed after taking medical and dental history, clinical examination, thermal tests and by taking radio-graphs. One hundred patients formed the study group. They were divided into two groups of fifty each, Group-A patients were given oral medication (Midazolan, Dormicum 7.5mg) and inferior dental nerve Block, while Group-B patients were given only Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) Block (1.8 ml cartridge-1:100000 epinephrine) of Xylestesin-S (ESPE-Germany) without any pre-medication. Pre-operative pain of patients of both groups was recorded on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) i.e: 0= no pain, 10 = most severe pain. (VAS 0>10) Group-A patients were given anesthesia 45 minutes after pre medication while Group-B, patients were treated routinely after administrating inferior dental nerve Block block. In group A (40% showed no pain, 44% mild pain, 12% moderate pain and 4% suffered severe pain n=50) while in group B (20% showed no pain, 50% mild pain, 20% moderate pain and 10% suffered from severe pain after the procedure was done. It was concluded that the patients who had received sedation, prior to anesthesia showed better results.
