The purpose of this study was to measure the degree of anesthesia obtained with 4% prilocaine and 3% mepivacaine compared with 2% lidocaine (1:100,000 epinephrine) for inferior alveolar nerve block. Using a repeated measures design, 30 subjects randomly received an inferior alveolar injection using masked cartridges of each solution at three successive appointments. The first molar, first premolar, lateral incisor, and contralateral canine (control) were blindly tested with an Analytic Technology pulp tester at 3-min cycles for 50 min. Anesthetic success was defined as no subject response to the maximum output of the pulp tester (80 reading) within 16 min and maintenance of this reading for 50 min. Although subjects felt numb subjectively, anesthetic success as defined here occurred in 43 to 63% of the molars, in 53 to 67% of the premolars, and in 30 to 37% of the lateral incisors. No statistically significant differences in onset, success, or failure were found among the solutions. We conclude that the three preparations are equivalent for an inferior alveolar nerve block of 50-min duration.
