“…Intra‐oral local anesthesia techniques are the most commonly used method in pain control in dentistry. Successful dental anesthesia is technique‐sensitive and should provide improved pain control and reduced risk of complications 1,2 . Considering the increasing soft tissue complications especially after block anesthesia in children, supraperiosteal anesthesia is generally preferred.…”

“…The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Kocaeli Provincial Health Directorate, Health Sciences University, Derince Training and Research Hospital (2019‐94) in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, and written informed consent was obtained from the parents prior to the treatment. Based on the data from previous studies, 2,16 a minimum sample size of 53 subjects was calculated by using the G*Power software (Ver.3.1.9.2), considering type I error (alfa) of 0.05, power (1‐beta) of 0.8, and effect size of 0.5.…”

“…The current study was carried out in a randomized manner, with a control condition, and with a crossover, and as a double‐blind study design. In this study's split‐mouth design, pulpotomy procedures with local infiltration anesthesia were administered to bilateral primary first mandibular molar for each patient in two separate sessions at an interval of 4–7 days between the two sessions 2,11 . Before local infiltration anesthesia, only topical anesthesia was applied in one side, and as a pre‐anesthesia application, topical anesthesia with LLLT was applied in the contralateral side.…”

“…Various techniques have been suggested, including vibration devices, computer‐controlled injection systems, needle‐free injection methods, and electronic dental anesthesia, using topical anesthesia or vasoconstrictor‐mediated antagonists, buffering anesthesia solution, or warming the solution and premedication. The lack of consensus on the effectiveness of these techniques, however, may limit their use in daily routine 1,2 …”

Background The use of low level laser therapy (LLLT) to reduce injection pain associated with dental local anesthesia is reported in a limited number of studies in adults, but research on the effects of LLLT in children is needed. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effects of topical anesthesia + LLLT on injection pain, anesthesia efficacy, and duration in local anesthesia of children who are undergoing pulpotomy treatment. Design The study was conducted as a randomized, controlled‐crossover, double‐blind clinical trial with 60 children aged 6–9 years. Before local infiltration anesthesia was administered, only topical anesthesia was applied in one side (control group/CG), and topical anesthesia plus LLLT (a diode laser: 810 nm; continuous mode; 0.3W; 20 s; 69 J/cm2) was applied in the contralateral side (LG) as pre‐anesthesia. The injection pain and anesthesia efficacy were evaluated subjectively and objectively using the Wong‐Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (PRS) and the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale respectively. Data were analyzed for statistical significance (p < .05). Results The “no pain” and “severe pain” rates in the PRS were 41.7% and 3.3% for the LG and 21.7% and 11.7% for the CG, respectively, during injection. Similarly, in the FLACC data, the number of “no pain” responses was higher for the LG than the CG (40%, 33.3%) and no “severe pain” rate was observed in both groups. The only statistically significant difference found for the PRS was p < .05. The median pain score was “0” for the LG and the CG in the FLACC data for the evaluation of anesthesia efficacy, and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of pain and anesthesia duration (p > .05). Also, most of the children preferred injection with topical anesthesia + LLLT (66.7%). Conclusions It has been determined that the application of topical anesthesia + LLLT with an 810‐nm diode laser before local infiltration anesthesia reduced injection pain and did not have an effect on anesthesia efficacy and duration in children.

“…PIA is considered a very painful and traumatic intraoral injection for children, because of the thick and dense keratinized tissue in the palatal region 3 . Various methods for preventing the pain of PIA have been studied in the literature, including applying topical anesthetics before the injection, 3–5 utilizing a computer‐controlled anesthesia delivery system, 6 applying pressure to the injection site, 7 using modern devices (such as DentalVibe, which uses vibration), 8 and the use of low‐level laser therapy before needle insertion 9 …”

Background: Needle-free injection systems can contribute to the prevention of needle-related pain during palatal infiltration anesthesia (PIA) in children.Research on this topic in children is required. Aim:The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness and patient preference of a needle-free system versus traditional anesthesia (TA) on pain perception during PIA in children. Design:The study was designed as a randomized, controlled crossover clinical study with 48 children aged 6-12 years requiring dental treatment with PIA in bilateral maxillary primary molars. TA was applied on one side and the Comfort-in™ injection system (CIS) on the other side in two separate sessions.Then, patient preference was recorded. The pain perception during PIA was evaluated using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (PRS) and the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) Scale. The data were analyzed for statistical significance (p < .05).Results: There were statistically significant differences between the TA and the CIS according to the PRS and FLACC Scale scores. On both scales, significantly higher pain ratings were observed in the TA group during PIA (p < .001). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of patient preference (p < .001).Although 77.1% (n = 37) of the children preferred the CIS, 22.9% (n = 11) preferred the TA. Moreover, patient preference for the CIS was significantly higher in older children (p < .01). Conclusions:The application of a needle-free system during PIA ensured a decrease in pain perception in children.

Diş hekimliği pratiğinde çürük temizleme, restoratif işlemler, pulpal veya periodontal işlemler, çekimler veya küçük cerrahi işlemlerde kullanılan lokal anestezi ile belirli bir bölgenin innervasyonunu sağlayan sinir dallarının anestezisi amaçlanır. Lokal anestezikler, sinir ağları boyunca hareket ederek buradaki sodyum akışını inhibe ederler. İşlemler sırasında ağrı hissinin oluşmasını önlemek hasta ve diş hekimi arasında güven hissini oluşturmak ve korku, kaygı gibi olumsuz duyguları hafifletmekte yardımcı olmaktadırlar. Diş hekimi tedavinin gerekliliklerine göre en güvenli, en minimal invaziv ve en ön görülebilir anestezi tekniğini seçebilmelidir. Enjeksiyonun ağrılı doğasını önlemenin ve dental işlemlerden önce lokal anestezi yapılmasının daha konforlu ve keyifli bir yolunu bulmak için sürekli araştırmalar yapılmaktadır. Son zamanlarda elde edilen yeniliklere rağmen, geleneksel yöntemlerle uygulanan enjeksiyonlar lokal anestezi sağlamada ilk sıradaki yerini korumayı sürdürmektedir.
