Objective this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of intraligamentary anesthetic technique in the extraction of grade II mobility maxillary molars compared to the infiltration technique. Materials and methods: Sixty patients were randomly allocated either to local infiltration or intraligamentary anesthesia prior to the extraction of a grade II mobility maxillary molar. Pain during anaesthesia and during extraction was recorded using the visual analogue scale (VAS) in addition to its duration. Data were collected and analyzed using t-test for continuous data, a chisquare test for categorical data and two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney) test for pain scoring scale analysis
