Visual analogue scale was used to determine the level of pain. Three groups were made depending on the effectiveness of anaesthesia at 2-sites (Group-A), 4-site (Group-B) and failure of Intraligamentary injection (Group-C). Anaesthesia was successful when the patient revealed no pain symptoms during access opening.</p> <p><strong><em>Results:</em></strong> A total of 80 cases were evaluated, out of which 47 were males (58.70%), and 33 were females (41.30%). The most common age groups recorded in our study were 18 – 25 years (33.75%) and 36- 45 years (33.75%). According to our results, the Intra-ligamentary technique was successful in 23(28.75%) cases. The remaining 57(71.25%) cases which received anaesthesia via IANB showed a 100.00% success rate with profound anaesthesia.</p> <p><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong> Inferior alveolar nerve block was more successful compared to Intraligamentary injections for providing profound anaesthesia to mandibular posterior teeth previously diagnosed with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis and under-going the procedure of access opening.</p>}, number={5}, journal={Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal}, author={., Avinash and Sheikh, Abu Bakar and Rashid, Saqib and Ali, Muhammad and Siddiqui, Kishwer Naz and Mujeeb, Fauzia}, year={2022}, month={Oct.}, pages={1550–54} }
