ABSTRACT
Lidocaine, also known as xylocaine or lignocaine is a medication used to numb tissue in a specific area and to treat ventricular tachycardia. It can also be used for nerve blocks. Sixty subjects (15 female, 45 male) in the 18–40 years old range, without history of systemic disease and no medications in the previous 6 months with normal BP (?140/90) were selected for this study. Subjects were divided into two groups: in the first group, the infiltration method (upper arch teeth) and in the second group, inferior alveolar nerve block technique (lower arch teeth) was applied. The mean systolic and diastolic BP were reduced after injection of lidocaine without epinephrine in the both maxillary and mandibular nerve block methods. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).The mean HR was reduced after injection of lidocaine without epinephrine in the both maxillary and mandibular nerve block methods. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
