Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this was to evaluate the volume of 2% lidocaine with adrenaline 1:100,000 administered per patient for effective inferior alveolar nerve block with special focus on influence of technique of the operator.
Materials and Methods: The study was carried out at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Khyber College of Dentistry Peshawar, from December 2012 to March 2013. One hundred patients were included in this study. For the collection of data, specially designed proforma was used. A 27 gauge 42mm long needle, 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline and conventional inferior alveolar block technique was used in the study. The collected data was analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.
Results: The gender distribution revealed that out of 100 patients 60(60.0%) were males while 40(40.0 %) were females, mostly in age group 21-30 years (34.0%). The age ranged from 14 to 65 years. The success rate for graduate operators was 83.78% while for undergraduate operators was 69.84% with a P-value 0.158.
