Buccal infiltration versus inferior alveolar nerve block in mandibular 2nd premolars with irreversible pulpitis

Conclusion: Within the limitation of this in vivo study, there was no difference between the efficacies of the buccal infiltration anesthesia and IANB anesthesia in the mandibular 2nd premolar teeth with irreversible pulpitis. Buccal infiltration anesthesia caused more discomfort in the patients compared with the IANB during the administration.
