About this study

Official title: Effect of Sodium Bicarbonate Buccal Infiltration on the Success of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in the Mandibular First Molar With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: a Prospective, Randomized Double-blind Study

The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double blind study was to evaluate the effect of a buccal infiltration of sodium bicarbonate on the anesthetic success of the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in patients with mandibular first molar experiencing symptomatic

Read the detailed description

Several studies have been done by adding Sodium Bicarbonate to local anesthesia in dentistry based on the theory that the amount of local anesthetic in the free-base un-ionized form will decrease to provide greater lipid penetration of the nerve and this could be cause of the failure of local anesthesia injected into the inflamed tissue with low PH and conflicting results were obtained. But, there are no study that evaluate effect of increasing PH in periradicular tissue on hindrance of resistance channels with supplementary infiltration injection of Sodium Bicarbonate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sodium bicarbonate, Lidocaine and sterile distilled water in people with Local Anesthesia, run by Masoud Saatchi at 1 site in Iran.

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 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

success rate of IANB in the mandibular first molar with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (time frame: Baseline). 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 5 Apr 2016.
