Comparing two ways to give dental numbing for kids
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new dental injector against a traditional syringe to see which one causes less pain and anxiety for children getting numbed for their first cavity treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is generally healthy (no major medical conditions).
- This will be your child's first time getting dental numbing medicine.

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.
This study compares two ways of numbing the lower jaw in children aged 6-8 before common dental treatments. One method uses a traditional syringe, and the other uses a vibrating device called Vibraject to give the painkiller. The goal is to see which method causes less pain and anxiety, making the dental visit easier for children.
This study tests a new computer-controlled injection method for numbing children's back teeth before removal. It aims to reduce pain during the injection and the procedure, making the experience more comfortable for children.
This study tests a new way to numb the back teeth in children with a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (wiener teeth that are prone to decay). It compares injecting numbing medicine directly into the bone (using a very short needle) with the standard method, to see if it gives better pain relief during treatment.
This study tests whether cooling the injection site and using a sweet-tasting solution before the dental numbing shot can reduce pain for children aged 7 to 11. If your child needs a dental procedure requiring a local anesthetic injection, this might help make the experience more comfortable.
This study compares two ways of giving numbing medicine before removing a baby back tooth in children. It tests whether a special injection device (called Starpen) makes the injection more comfortable than a regular syringe, which may help your child feel less pain and fear.
