Phentolamine to reverse numbing from dental local anesthesia in kids
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether phentolamine can quickly undo (reverse) the numbness from local anesthesia used during dental procedures in children. It may help kids feel normally sooner and safely use their mouth (like speaking and drinking) after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child age 5 to 7 years
- Need a dental procedure that uses local numbing medicine
- Have normal lip sensation (you can feel your lips normally) before the numbing medicine
- Be able to do a child check for normal smiling, speaking, and drinking without drooling
- Be willing to join the study and follow study instructions

This trial compares two ways of giving dental pain control for children who need a specific injection near a back lower tooth. It aims to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for kids during treatment under anesthesia.
This study compares three ways of giving numbing shots for dental work in children ages 6–8: a vibrating device, a special syringe, and a regular syringe. Researchers want to see which method causes the least pain and discomfort during the injection.
This study tests whether smelling lavender or bitter orange can help children feel less anxious and have less pain when they get a numbing shot at the dentist. It is for children aged 6–12 who are healthy and cooperative.
This study tests whether a numbing mist sprayed into the throat before surgery can reduce sore throat pain children feel after having their tonsils removed. It compares two numbing medicines to see if one works better than the other.
This study tests a new way to give numbing medicine to children who have very sensitive back teeth due to a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). It compares a special short needle injection into the jawbone combined with regular numbing medicine to see if it works better for treating deep cavities.
This study tests a special numbing technique (intraosseous anesthesia) for removing permanent back teeth in children who are already under general anesthesia for dental treatments. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain after the procedure.
