Shruti Dutta, Vikas Sharma

Background: The present study was conducted to compare the effect of LA (local anesthesia) containing adrenaline and without adrenaline on blood glucose level in diabetic patients requiring dental extraction. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 120 patients requiring dental extractions. Patients were divided into 3 groups of 40 each. Group I was control group, group II were diabetic patients on anti-diabetic drugs and group III were diabetic but not on anti-diabetic drugs. In all patients 2% lignocaine with 1:50000 adrenaline was used for the study. Blood glucose level was assessed using electronic glucometer first before administrating LA, second after administrating LA and third after extraction of the tooth. Result and conclusion: The mean blood glucose level (mg/dl) in group I was 106.2 and after 100.6, in group II it was 192.6 and 198.2 while in group III it was 170.8 and 214.4 before and after extraction of teeth respectively. The difference was significant in group III (P< 0.05). Key words: Adrenaline, Diabetes, Local anesthesia
