The objective of this study was to determine the effect of lidocaine alkalinization and nerve impulse blockage for intraoral pain in patients attending the Cedix dental center, Lima 2023. The study was quantitative, quasi-experimental, and prospective, where two groups of 34 patients each were formed using the formula for the difference of means. The observation technique and a data collection form were used, where the onset time was recorded, and the pain level was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The results showed that the average onset time for alkalinized lidocaine to take effect in patients was approximately 91.2 seconds. Furthermore, 91.2% of the patients experienced a mild level of pain during the intraoral nerve block. On the other hand, in the control group, where non-alkalinized lidocaine was administered, the mean onset time was 133.12 seconds. Additionally, 55.9% reported moderate pain, with the majority experiencing this level. It was concluded that with a p-value < 0.001, there is a highly significant difference in pain perception between both groups. Therefore, it can be affirmed that alkalinization of lidocaine with bicarbonate is associated with a significant reduction in pain perception during intraoral dental procedures.
