Effectiveness of Intraseptal Anesthesia for Periodontal Surgical Procedures

In the test groups every patient is going to receive injections of 0.3 mL of 4% articaine with 1: 100,000 epinephrine (ORABLOC ® , 40 mg/ml Articaine + 0.01 mg/ml Epinephrine, PIERREL S.P.A, Capua, Italy), with a computer controlled anesthesia delivery system (Anaeject®, Septodont, Sallanches, France). In the control groups all surgical procedures is going to be performed under infiltration anesthesia, as commonly used in periodontal surgery. The success rate and the anesthetic field widths is going to be recorded by pinprick testing. The pain levels will be recorded using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for the administration of anesthesia, during the surgical procedure and after the intervention.
