About this study

AMSA nerve block injection is targeted anterior superior alveolar nerve and middle superior alveolar nerve branches of infraorbital nerve through nutrient canals. Therefore, central to second premolar teeth of one quadrant can be anesthetized. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of AMSA nerve block injection at an anterior and a posterior positions compared to commonly administrated site.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulpal anesthesia of central incisor to second premolar by electric pulp tester (EPT)

    Each teeth were evaluated by electric pulp tester immediately after injection to 60 minutes every six minutes. Having no reaction to the EPT was the criterion of considering a tooth has been anaesthetized. Anesthesia was considered successful if no reaction to the maximum output for two consecutive tests.

    Measured: After each injection (base line) to 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AMSA nerve block injectio in people with Anesthesia; Functional, run by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pulpal anesthesia of central incisor to second premolar by electric pulp tester (EPT) (time frame: After each injection (base line) to 60 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Dec 2013.
