What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RopivacaineDrug

    Also called Topical anesthesia in the palatal mucosa

    100 mg of the following formulations: Liposome-encapsulated 1 and 2% ropivacaine gel, liposome placebo gel and 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine cream were applied once during 5 minutes.

  • RopivacaineDrug

    Also called Topical anesthesia in the buccal mucosa.

    100 mg of the following formulations: Liposome-encapsulated 1 and 2% ropivacaine gel, liposome placebo gel and 20% benzocaine gel were applied once during 30 minutes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Liposomal ropivacaine, topicalPlacebo comparatorThe topical anesthetics were applied at the region of right and left maxillary lateral incisors at the buccal mucosa.
Receives: Drug: Ropivacaine
Liposomal ropivacaine, palatal mucosaPlacebo comparatorTopical formulations were applied at the palatal mucosa at the right canine region and efficacy of topical formulations was accessed through insertion of a 30 gauge needle and injection of anesthetic solution.
Receives: Drug: Ropivacaine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. After topical application of the local anesthetic formulations at the oral mucosa, their influence on pulpal response was assessed by an electrical pulp tester.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The efficacy of the topical anesthetics was measured after a simulation of a local anesthesia in the application site (insertion of a 30 gauge needle until periosteum contact).

    Measured: 10 seconds after removal of topical formulation
