Abstract
Introduction: Trepidation towards dental procedures is commonly seen in the adult population and is one of the major reasons for avoiding dental treatments.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the anesthetic potential of anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) nerve block versus local infiltration during crown lengthening in the maxilla, using a pain assessment tool.
Materials and methods: Outpatients visiting the Department of Periodontics at Mahe Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital were selected for the study. A total of 60 patients indicated for crown lengthening, has been included in the study with the age group between 18 and 65 years, and divided into two groups: Group A (AMSA) and Group B (local infiltration).
Results: AMSA shows promising results when compared to local infiltration.
