Study Comparing Two Electronic Syringe Anesthesia Methods for Children Aged 5 to 9 Undergoing Dental Treatment

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and pain response of two local anesthesia methods in children undergoing dental treatment using an electronic syringe. The study focuses on ligament anesthesia and the inferior alveolar nerve block IANB technique, each applied to different teeth during separate visits. This trial explores the benefits of computerized syringes that offer precise control of anesthetic flow and include features designed to reduce fear and anxiety in pediatric patients. The study compares two anesthesia methods delivered with an electronic syringe one using the inferior alveolar nerve block technique and the other using intraligamentary anesthesia around the tooth ligament. Both techniques involve controlled injection speed and pressure to minimize discomfort. Each child undergoes pulpectomy for two different teeth, receiving a different anesthesia technique at each visit to allow direct comparison. Participants will be assessed for pain during anesthesia administration, rubber dam placement, and pulp chamber opening using age-appropriate pain scales. Researchers will also evaluate childrens and parents satisfaction with the electronic syringe. The main outcomes include the success rates of the anesthesia techniques during the dental procedures. The study runs from May 2025 to April 2026 and includes children aged 6 to 10 years.
