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 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 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 computer-controlled injection method to reduce pain and anxiety during extraction of primary (baby) molars in young children ages 5–7. The goal is to make the procedure more comfortable and less frightening.
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 trial tests whether a vibrating tool or a cold pack can help reduce pain when children get a numbing shot at the dentist. If your child needs a simple filling and is generally healthy, this study might help make their experience more comfortable.
