Comparison of Effectiveness of Lignocaine and Lignocaine with Pre-Operative Oral Ibuprofen for Pulpectomy in 5 to 9-Year-Old Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Childhood experiences of pain associated with dental treatment can induce dental anxiety. Infe-rior alveolar nerve blocks are eight times more likely to fail in patients with irreversible pulpitis. The objective was to compare the effectiveness of lignocaine with and without pre-operative oral ibuprofen for controlling pain in primary mandibular molars scheduled for pulpectomy procedures in 5 to 9-year-old children.
