Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of buffered lidocaine with self reporting of pain elicited during maxillary labial and palatal infiltrations of permanent canines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A standardized, prospective clinical trial of adult volunteers using a cross-over design of 20 paired injections using conventional 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine as the control. RESULTS: Failed to establish a significant reduction in pain scores for either injection site when buffered lidocaine was injected intraorally.
