RESUMO

The association of local anaesthetic (LA) with hyaluronidase is widely used in ophthalmic anaesthesia improving its efficacy. It was demonstrated that a fraction of molecules of the LA applied reached the nerve and the others spreads out to the tissues around. Our purpose was to verify if hyaluronidase (75 TRU) is able to prolong the duration of anaesthesic action when it was injected immediately before the end of pulpal anesthesia. It was realized 40 bilateral and symmetrical third inferior molar surgeries by the same operator, with 2% mepivacaine with epinephrine to block inferior alveolar nerve , in 20 healthy patients. In each surgeries was injected at 40 minutes hyaluronidase or placebo, in a double blinded manner. It was used electrical stimulus to evaluate pulpal anesthesia, and was done mechanical stimulus (pick) to evaluated gingival anaesthesia. The tests were done in the inferior premolar, collateral side to the surgery. In both tissues, the duration of action with hyaluronidase was longer (p<0.01) than placebo. Indirectly, these outcomes indicate that hyaluronidase redirects the molecules of LA to the nervous fiber. Regarding these experimental conditions, it is possible to conclude that hyaluronidase induce long-term local anesthesia.
