30 Dec 2009Twenty-three males and 7 females from age 19 to 43 years (average 24 years) participated in this study. One hundred percent of the subjects had subjective lip and tongue anesthesia with the IAN blocks. The discomfort ratings of solution deposition for the IAN blocks are presented in Table 1. There were no significant differences (P > .05) between the solutions.

Anesthetic success is presented in Table 2. Success rates for the lidocaine solution ranged from 20 to 81%, and for the lidocaine solution with hyaluronidase success ranged from 23 to 70%. There were no significant differences (P > .05) between the two solutions. The incidence of pulpal anesthesia for the two techniques is presented in Figures 1 through 6.
