Aim: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of two topical anesthetics in minimizing the discomfort related to intraoral injections. Material and Method: For the study, 40 healthy kids between the ages of 6 and 10 were chosen. To the injection site, two topical anesthetic products were applied: lignocaine hydrochloride gel and benzocaine 20% gel. The effectiveness of the topical agents was evaluated using a four-point scale, which was previously used by Topçuoglu and colleagues to evaluate pain. Result: A significant difference between the lignocaine group (2.1 ± 0.5) and the benzocaine group (1.2 ± 0.6) was found on a four-point scale (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Benzocaine demonstrates a higher degree of efficacy in comparison with lignocaine. However, additional research is necessary to ascertain the result of this study.

“…The dentist can overcome the issue of injection pain by altering the pH and temperature of local anesthetic solution and by reducing the speed of injecting the solution into the tissues. [ 5 ] Another technique is to prepare the tissues before injection, i.e., surface anesthesia, which includes refrigeration,[ 6 ] transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS),[ 7 ] and topical anesthesia.…”
