Role of vasoconstrictor in intraligamentary anaesthetic solution on the incidence of dry socket

A clinical study was performed to investigate the role of vasoconstrictor in intraligamentary anesthetic solution on the incidence of dry socket. A total of 286 m and ibular first molar extractions were under investigation. The results indicated that intraligamentary anesthetic solution with adrenaline resulted in a higher incidence of dry socket [3.2%] than that without adrenaline [2.7%]; however, this was statistical insignificant. Also, a nonsignificant difference between intraligamentary anesthetic technique [3.04%] and inferior alveolar nerve block [2.4%] was statistically observed
