Anesthesia, Anesthesia, Local, Vibration
Conditions
Brief summary
This study adopts the null hypothesis (There is no difference in pain perception during local anesthesia injection with the buzzy device in comparison to the conventional technique).
Detailed description
The injection of local anesthesia in children is usually associated with fear, anxiety, and discomfort. There is an essential need to develop techniques that decrease pain during injection, preventing patients from avoiding dental treatment.The efficacy of a child-friendly device, having a combined effect of vibration and distraction, with the conventional method of injection on pain, anxiety, and behavior of pediatric patients. The evaluation the pain perception and comfort of the patient during local anesthesia delivery using the Buzzy device and conventional syringe and revealed that the external cold and vibration via Buzzy can reduce pain and anxiety during local anesthetic delivery for various dental procedures.
