ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how different methods of giving local anesthesia (numbing medicine) affect pain perception in children during dental treatments. Specifically, it compares traditional injection techniques with two computerized systems designed to control the injection more precisely. The goal is to find out if one method causes less pain than the other.
To participate in this study, children aged 5 to 8 years old who are healthy and need local anesthesia for dental work may be eligible. The children must also be able to cooperate during the procedure. Families interested in this trial should know that it is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to help improve the experience of dental treatments for kids by making them less painful.
