About this trial
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of adding distolingual infiltration to conventional inferior alveolar and buccal nerve blocks for mandibular third molar extraction. A total of 120 patients will be allocated into two groups. Pain during flap elevation and bone guttering will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Pain during mucoperiosteal flap elevation
Pain intensity experienced during flap elevation will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). This is a 0-10 point numerical scale where participants indicate the pain level experienced at the time of flap elevation. Measurement Tool: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scale: * Minimum score: 0 (no pain) * Maximum score: 10 (worst possible pain) * Directionality: Higher scores indicate worse pain
Time frame
During mucoperiosteal flap elevation on the day of surgery2
Pain During Bone Guttering
Pain intensity during bone guttering will be recorded using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Measurement Tool: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scale: * Minimum: 0 (no pain) * Maximum: 10 (worst pain) * Higher scores = worse pain
Time frame
During bone guttering on the day of surgery.Sponsors and contacts
