Brief Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of Camouflage syringe vs Conventional syringe in reducing Dental Anxiety and increasing behaviour rating.Half of the participants received local anesthesia using camouflaged syringe, while others received using conventional syringe.

Detailed Description

Dental anxiety and phobia result in avoidance of dental care. Since the injection itself can be painful, pain reduction procedures warrant continued investigation. Camouflage design deals with the visual impact of the needle and syringe though the tactile sensation remains unaltered. In our study, post treatment anxiety levels in camouflaged syringe was reduced as compared to conventional syringe group and this might be because, patients with low anxiety tend to have high pain thresholds.
