Comparative analysis between articaine and mepivacaine anesthesia in the palatine region: pilot study. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.4, pp. 111-116. ISSN 1808-5210.

In an analytical study, the randomized clinical trial, prospective, quantitative, comparative, descriptive, doubleblind, paired samples, we compare and analyze the diffusibility of local anesthetics Articaine and Mepivacaine, through anesthesia on vestibular and examination clinician in the palate to upper third molar surgery bilateral. A sample of 50 patients was studied, and the results of 5 patients were excluded because they did not have met. For the anesthetic Mepivacaine, the percentage pain patients ranged from 68.9% with 30 seconds to 37.8% in the assessment to 3 minutes. While for the anesthetic Articaine, the percentage of pain patients ranged from 37.8% to 20.0% for 30 seconds and 3 minutes; each evaluation time shows a significant difference between the two anesthetics in relation to the occurrence of pain at the level of 5.0% (P <0.05). Proves, therefore, greater diffusibility of Articaine by tissue, reducing the need for anesthetic supplementation on the palatal, region of great soreness.
