OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the anesthetic effectiveness of the Anterior Middle
Superior Alveolar (AMSA) injection administered through a computer-controlled local
anesthetic delivery system (CCLAD)and compare with the traditional buccal and palatal
injections used to anaesthetize maxillary primary molars.
MATERIALS and METHODS:The sample included 80 primary maxillary molars. The
group was divided into eight subgroups, each comprised often teeth. The effectiveness of
the technique was measured and compared in lsl and 2nd primary molars for pulpotomy
or extraction treatments through the sounds, eyes and motor scale (SEM),where the
evaluator was blinded from the anesthetic technique. Statistical analysis was carried
out using SPSS version 10.0.
RESULTS: The AMSAinjection with the CCLADwas found to be effective in
anesthetizing maxillary primary molars in pulpotomy and extraction procedures. There
was no significant difference between the two anesthetic techniques except in the step
of gingival retraction buccally in which the traditional injections were more effective
than the CCLADdUring extractions. No significant difference was found between both
primary molars in the anesthetic effectiveness of both techniques.
CONCLUSION: The AMSAinjection using CCLADwas found to be effective in
children. However, further research in this field is necessary.
