| Core Tip |
Achieving effective pulpal anesthesia in hypomineralized second primary molars is often challenging with conventional local anesthetics. This split-mouth clinical study demonstrates that 4% articaine provides superior intraoperative anesthetic efficacy compared with 2% lignocaine during root canal treatment of hypomineralized second primary molars, particularly during access cavity preparation and canal instrumentation. While both agents showed comparable discomfort during injection, articaine achieved more profound and consistent pulpal anesthesia. The findings underscore the clinical importance of selecting anesthetic agents with enhanced tissue penetration for hypomineralized teeth and provide evidence-based guidance for improving pain control and treatment outcomes in pediatric endodontic practice. |
