Evaluation of the injection pain with the use of DentalVibe injection system during supraperiosteal anaesthesia in children: a randomised clinical trial

Abstract

Children experienced similar pain during SP anaesthesia administered with a TS and the DV, regardless of gender and jaw differences. DV was less preferred over the traditional procedure in children.

A randomized clinical trial to compare pain levels during three types of oral anesthetic injections and the effect of Dentalvibe® on injection pain in children

“…Anyway, their study did not refer to the indication of giving only a palatal injection or if it were preceded by a buccal infiltration. Our findings agreed with those of Şermet Elbay et al . during supraperiosteal anesthesia, on maxilla and mandible and with Elbay et al .…”

“…The preference was, however, investigated. In the study of Şermet Elbay et al ,. most of the children preferred the traditional method in supraperiosteal injections, whereas the DV was favored by children on the palate.…”

“…A study conducted on adolescents discovered that the Dentalvibe ® is effective in reducing pain during local anesthesia injections. On the other hand, studies about using this device in children had conflicting results. Heading out of the contradictory results, and the small number of studies that do not resolve the issue of the effectiveness of the device in children especially that these studies on adolescents and children have an intersection in the age group, this study mainly aimed to comparing pain values of three different intraoral injections and the effect of the Dentalvibe ® in reducing pain on both the maxilla and the mandible in pediatric patients aged 6–12 years, in addition to testing the acceptance of the device by this age group.…”

“…The preference was, however, investigated. In the study of S ßermet Elbay et al 13 , most of the children preferred the traditional method in supraperiosteal injections, whereas the DV was favored by children on the palate 14 . In this study, the majority (62.5%) of the sample either refused the injection using the Dentalvibe â or preferred the traditional method.…”

Effect of vibration devices on pain associated with dental injections in children: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…Gate control theory postulates that physical pain is not the direct result of the activation of pain receptor neurons, rather its perception is modulated by neuronal interactions. 7,8 The effectiveness of vibration in reducing pain in medicine has been studied in cases such as venipuncture, phlebotomy and vaccination or other needle-related procedures in children. There was a benefit of the vibrating device plus cold on pain during vaccination in children.…”
