The efficacy of pre-operative oral aceclofenac and intra-ligamentary mepivacaine on the success of failed inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis: a prospective, randomised, double-blinded clinical trial
Mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis are associated with a high anaesthetic failure rate of a single primary IANB injection during endodontic treatment. Adding an oral pre-operative aceclofenac medication and a supplemental intra-ligamentary injection, augments the anaesthetic efficacy in such cases.
