Anesthetic Efficacy of Articaine Vs Lignocaine

The improvements in local anesthetic agents and techniques for local anesthetic administration are probably the most important advances in the field of dentistry. Articaine is a safe alternative to Lignocaine,which is potent and effective. The advantage of Articaine over other anesthetics is its potency due to high lipo-solubility attributed to thiopene ring in its molecule.The long duration of action and its superior diffusion through bony tissue makes it comparable to long acting local anesthetics.
