Abstract：Objective:To investigate the anesthetic efficacy and adverse reaction of the compound articaine used in tooth extraction.in elderly people.Methods:479 cases of elderly patients with conventional tooth extraction, selected from the Department of stomatology in Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Region, Urumqi,, were randomly divided into compound articaine anesthesia group (treatment group, n= 242) and lidocaine anesthesia group (control group, n= 237), The clinical effect of anesthesia and anesthesia adverse reaction were evaluated according to the facial expression of patients and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The incidence of adverse reaction were also determined. Anesthetic efficacy was marked as totally valid, good valid, valid and invalid.Results:The anesthetic efficacy and VAS scores in the treatment group were statistically better than those in the control group (P<0.01). Onset time of anesthesia in compound articaine group was statistically better than that of lidocaine anesthesia group (P<0.05).Conclusions:The anesthetic effect of articaine has obvious advantages compared to lidocaine, a kind of traditional anesthetic. Compound articaine has the advantages of fast acting, powerful anesthetic effect, long duration and less adverse reaction. It can eliminate the mental anxiety and fear of elderly patients during tooth extraction to avoid sharp increase in blood pressure. Compound articaine is a safe and useful local anaesthetic, worth of promoting in oral surgery.
