Electronic vs. standard syringe for kids' dental pain and anxiety
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if an electronic syringe causes less pain and anxiety in children during a dental numbing shot compared to a conventional syringe. It is for healthy 6-8 year olds getting their first dental visit and who need a filling on a baby molar on each side of the mouth.
