Starpen Device vs. Syringe for Numbing in Kids' Tooth Removal
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a new numbing device (Starpen) to a regular syringe when giving numbing medicine before removing a baby upper molar in children ages 6 to 8. It aims to see if the new device makes the numbing and tooth removal less stressful for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
