Abstract

Background: Before the invention of anaesthesia, people employed a variety of techniques to lessen pain, such as pressure or ice to numb their limbs. They gave out wine, hemp-marijuana, mandragora, opium, as well as herbal medicines. The only way the Incas could have injected cocaine into a wound was to spit saliva into it, even though they were aware of its topical effects. That would have some impact, but because there wasn't much active cocaine present, the impact wouldn't likely be sufficient to induce anaesthesia. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the anesthestic efficacy of 4% Articaine Hydrochloride with 1:100,000 adrenaline and 2% Lignocaine HCl with 1:80,000 adrenaline in dental extractions.
 Methods: In this prospective comparative study 2% Lignocaine HCl with 1:80,000 adrenaline was used as standard solutions.
 Results: In this comparative study we assessed the anesthetic efficacy of 4% Articaine HCl with 1:100,000 adrenaline and 2% Lignocaine HCl with 1:80,000 adrenaline for orthodontic premolar extractions.
 Conclusion: Through clinical usage, lidocaine hydrochloride has shown effectiveness, low sensitivity, and little toxicity. Research has backed up this medication's efficacy and safety.
