Patients randomly received 1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine with clonidine (15 μg/mL) or 1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine with epinephrine (12.5 μg/mL), using a conventional IANB technique. Root canal therapy will done in a single visit appointment. Patients will asked to recorded their pain on a Heft-Parker visual analogue scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after treatment.
