Summary
Injectable anesthesics previous to subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) presents some
disadvantages like fear of the needle insertion, long-lasting effect and prolonged dampening
of adjacent tissues. This study will compare the intrapocket anesthetic effectiveness of a
skin topical anesthesic EMLA with intrapocket 2% benzocaine, intrapocket placebo and
injectable anaesthesia for SRP in a Split-mouth, double-blind, clinical trial study.
