Clinical Efficiency of Xanthan Hydrogels Containing Local Anesthetics Encapsulated in Nanostructured Lipid Carries

Summary

In a crossover, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, 40 volunteers will receive the following formulations: hydrogels containing LAs (local anesthetic) - lidocaine and prilocaine (both at 2.5%) encapsulated in CLN (XAN-CLN) or not (XAN-CLN ), EMLA (topical anesthetic available on the market) and placebo hydrogel. The formulations will be applied for 2 minutes, bilaterally on the palatal mucosa (first premolar region), in two distinct sessions. Soon after removal of the topical formulation, an AL will be performed at the region using 0.3 mL of anesthetic solution at an injection speed of 1 mL/min. Pain resulting from needle insertion and LA injection will be measured using two visual analog scales (VAS).
