Surgical Complications From Local Anesthesia Dental Implant Failed Anesthesia Complications Anesthesia Morbidity | Device: Dental Implants in Posterior Mandible Drug: Subperiosteal 1:100.000 Articaine 4% epinephrine Drug: Loco-regional 1:100.000 Articaine 4% epinephrine | Phase 4 |
Inter/Intra observer agreement will be made for administration of local subperiosteal, loco-regional anesthesia, operatory evaluation of pain and radiologic examination.
One group will receive articaine 1:100.000, 4% epinephrine subperiosteal and the other 1:100.000 4% epinephrine loco-regional for dental implant installation in posterior mandible.
The evaluation parameters will focus on intraoperatory pain, Intraoperatory anesthetic complications, anesthetic efficiency, correlation between distance from implant to inferior alveolar nerve, intraoperatory pain, post-operatory at 3 and 10 days and correlate changes, and survival rate of dental implants during and post osseointegration period.

- Anesthesia efficiency [ Time Frame: During Surgery for Dental Implant installation ]
Evaluate subperiosteal vs loco-regional anesthesia for implant installation in posterior mandible.
It will be measured by the amount (mean) of anesthesia pre and intraoperatory
- Intraoperatory Pain [ Time Frame: During Surgery for Implant Installation in posterior mandible ]It will be measured with a direct measure composed by pre and post operatory questionnaires with Visual Analog Scales (VAS) to patient and by two indirect measures, one to the clinician that performed the surgery and one by an external clinic psychologist, both by means of VAS score
- Intraoperatory Anesthesia Complications [ Time Frame: During Surgery for implant installation in posterior mandible ]measure the amount of adverse effects of both types of procedure (subperiosteal vs loco-regional)
- Post-Operatory Outcome Changes [ Time Frame: Baseline (T0) 3 Days (T1) 10 Days (T2) ]measure post-operatory magnitude changes in both groups (subperiosteal vs loco-regional anesthesia) from baseline to 10 Days. It will be measured in VAS the amount of pain experienced by the patient.
- Time of Surgery [ Time Frame: During Surgical Procedure ]Measure the amount of time needed to perform dental implant installation in posterior mandible in both groups (subperiosteal Vs loco-regional)
- Distance To Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) [ Time Frame: Post operative Panoramic radiograph ]measure in a panoramic (orthopantomography) the distance from the implant apex to the most coronal part of the IAN and correlate to the anesthesia efficacy and operatory pain
- Osseointegration [ Time Frame: At 8 Weeks post-surgery ]evaluate the ability of dental implants to integrate into bone, comparison between the two groups, subperiosteal vs loco-regional)
