About this study
Official title: Study of Tramadol Addiction Impact on Dental Anesthesia Succes.
The aim is to investigate and to find a correlation between tramadol addiction misuse among Algerian males and Dental Local Anesthesia success while performing dental care and oral surgeries.
Read the detailed description
Local anesthesia is by far the most important part of pain control in dentistry, it is the cornerstone that makes many dental procedures possible, not only for the patient but also for the dentist and dental hygienists. Since the pain and the dentist are almost synonymous for the patient, this makes dental anesthesia the most widely administered drugs in the dental clinics. Hence, the failure of local anesthesia in oral medicine presents an undesirable outcome both for the patient and for the practitioner.
The intraoperative pain being prevented by the administration of a local anesthesia must be followed by the management of the postoperative pain which can be often intense and thus requiring drugs administration. These drugs could be nonopioid or opioid analgesics which are also frequently used in general medicine as Tramadol.
Tramadol is 2-(dimethyl amino)-methyl)-1-(3'-methoxyphenyl) cyclohexanol hydrochloride. It is 4-phenyl-piperidine analogue of the opioid drug codeine. It is generally well tolerated with few and rare side effects. Moreover, comparative studies have mostly shown that Tramadol is more effective than NSAIDs for post operative pain control. However, its misuse is increasingly growing and has become obvious in Algeria.
Tramadol addiction has become very frequent, and its unjustified use is expanding. This might be attributed to the fragility of the health system and the replacement of the qualified pharmacists by non-qualified helpers or assistants.

Also called mepivacaine@ (2%@ 1:100000 epinephrine) dental anesthesia
Administration, calculation and adjustment of dental local anesthesia doses.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tramadol Addicted Patients | Active comparator | It represents the group of tramadol addicted patients seeking dental care that require dental anesthesia. Receives: Drug: articaine@ (4% 1:100000 epinephrine) dental anesthesia |
| Non addicted patients | Active comparator | The group of patients requiring dental care with local anesthesia and who are not addicted to tramadol. Receives: Drug: articaine@ (4% 1:100000 epinephrine) dental anesthesia |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Measuring in (ML) the quantity of dental anesthesia used in each participants group to achieve analgesic effect
The quantity (ml) of dental anesthesia used to perform dental and oral surgery procedure among tramadol addicted and non-addicted patients will be mesured to investigate the difference.
Measured: 3 months
To determine the number of dental anesthesia carpules used for each group participants during dental and oral procedures
Among addicted and non-addicted patients, the number of carpules of dental anesthesia necessary for total analgesic effect will be determined.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
To determine the quantity ( mg) of tramadol and the time of consumption ( in months) necessary to cause dental anesthesia failure among addicted patients.
As our hypothesis suggested that tramadol addiction cause dental anesthesia failure, we would like to calculate the dose and number of months of tramadol consumption necessary to provok dental anesthesia failure as an addiction complication
Measured: 3 months

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?
