Study Summary

This trial looks at whether a 3D dental scan can help guide a lower jaw anesthesia injection to improve the success rate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-70 who need a lower jaw nerve block for dental implant surgery and have had no allergic reactions to lidocaine. They must be patients of certain LSUHSC School of Dentistry clinicians, classified as ASA I or II (low risk), missing some lower jaw teeth, and either have or will get a 3D dental scan.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the success rates between two methods of administering anesthesia to the lower jaw: one using a standard technique and the other guided by a pre-treatment 3D dental scan (CBCT).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions to local anesthetics like numbness beyond the targeted area, minor pain at injection site, dizziness, or in rare cases, an allergic reaction.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CBCT firstExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This group will receive the injection technique that is guided by pre-treatment measurements made from the 3D dental scan (CBCT) during implant placement surgery and if the implant is placed as a two-stage procedure, during the second stage implant uncovery will receive the standard injection technique. If the implant is placed as a one-stage procedure, the second visit will not apply.
Group II: Standard technique firstActive Control1 Intervention
This group will receive the standard injection technique first at the implant placement surgery and if the implant is placed as a two-stage procedure, during the second stage implant uncovery will receive the injection technique guided by the 3D dental scan (CBCT). If the implant is placed as a one-stage procedure, the second visit will not apply.
