Needle injection study for kids with sensitive molars
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is generally healthy (classified as ASA I or II).
- Your child is cooperative and has been rated a 3 or 4 on the Frankl behavior scale.
- Your child has at least one very sensitive, deeply decayed first permanent molar affected by MIH that needs treatment.
- The decay reaches the inner third of the dentin and is close to the nerve, as seen on an x-ray.
- You (the parent or guardian) agree to sign a consent form.

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 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.
This study tests two ways to numb teeth—in the bone or in the gum—to see which works better for children with weak enamel on their back teeth and front teeth. It may help find a pain-free way to treat these teeth.
This study compares a computer-controlled numbing method to the traditional shot for children who have weak enamel (molar-incisor hypomineralization) and need a filling. The goal is to see which method is more comfortable and effective.
This study tests two methods—a special fluoride liquid and a cold therapy—to see which better numbs the pain of treating MIH-affected molars in children ages 6 to 12. It may help find a gentler way to make dental treatment more comfortable.
This study compares two ways of numbing a tooth during a deep cavity treatment in children, to see which one causes less pain and anxiety. It involves a standard dental numbing injection and another technique, and may help make dental visits more comfortable for kids.
