Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the pain perception associated with a needle-free injection system( Comfort-In) and dental injection method in filling and pulpotomy treatments

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Needle-free injection system(Comfort-In) and dental injection method was applied on the teeth of children who need dental treatment.70 patients were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two grups according to the injection technique.

Group1: Needle-free injection system(Comofrt-In) 2:Dental injection method. The pain intensity was assessed during anesthesia, during treatment and at the end of thetreatment by the Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale.

The datas were analyzed with a three-way variance method in repeated.

Study Groups

Needle-free injection group

In needle-free injection techniques, 2% lidocaine with 1/80.000 epinephrine (Lidocaine, Colombia) was injected using the Comfort-In system.

Needle-free injection

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This study was performed among children aged 4-11 years who required dental treatment and were treated at the Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Gaziosmanpasa University. A total of 70 patients were evaluated in accordance with the exclusion criteria and 56 children (31 girls and 25 boys) were included in this study. Children who needed dental treatment were randomly divided into two groups. All dental injections were administered by the same operator (MB), a pediatric dentist with two years of experience in using the Comfort-In system.

In both groups, the children were asked to rate their pain intensity by choosing the closest statement on the Wong-Baker Pain Scale at three time points: immediately after injection (Pain 1), during treatment (Pain 2), and at the end of the treatment (Pain 3).

Dental injection group

In the conventional dental-injection method, 2% lidocaine with 1/80.000 epinephrine (Lidocaine, Colombia) was injected using a 27G, 40-mm, disposable syringe with a needle.
