INTRODUCTION:
Topical anesthetic agents are widely used in the field of dentistry to reduce pain and apprehension during administration of local anesthesia. Various topical anesthetic agents are available, among which the most commonly used ones are lignocaine and benzocaine. Hence we planned this study to compare and evaluate the efficacy of topical anesthesia on needle insertion pain prior to administration of inferior alveolar nerve block.
