Relevance . Effective pain relief is required for high-quality outpatient dental treatment in children. Infiltration and PDL local anesthetic injection techniques are easier and safer for young patients. Purpose – to determine the effectiveness and safety of the modified PDL anesthetic injection technique in the pediatric dental practice. Materials and methods . The study involved 100 children aged 4 to 7 years, in need of caries and pulpitis treatment in the primary dentition. 4% articaine solutions with 1: 2 and 1: 4 epinephrine were administered as a local anesthetic. The effectiveness of the treatment was determined by the visual analogue scale. Results . The study determined the high effectiveness and safety of the modified technique of PDL anesthetic injection of 4% articaine solution with epinephrine ratio 1:200 000 and 1:400 000 for the treatment of caries and pulpitis in 100 children aged 4-7 years. Conclusions . The conducted studies have demonstrated the high ffectiveness and safety of the modified PDL anesthetic injection technique of a 4% solution of articaine with epinephrine both at a concentration of 1:200 000 and 1:400 000.
