First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common numbing medicines used in dentistry: lidocaine and articaine. One hundred adults needing a simple tooth removal will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two. The goal is to see which medicine controls pain better and reduces the need for extra numbing shots, helping dentists choose the best option for each patient.
