Anaesthetic efficacy of articaine versus lidocaine in children's dentistry: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Over the last few years, numerous reviews and studies have awarded articaine hydrochloride local anaesthetic (LA) a superior reputation, with outcomes of different studies demonstrating a general tendency for articaine hydrochloride to outperform lidocaine hydrochloride for dental treatment.
