ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new method of pain management called intra-osseous anesthesia, which is delivered using a device called Quicksleepr5. The goal is to see if this method is more effective at eliminating pain during dental treatments, such as repairing cavities or removing teeth, in young children compared to traditional anesthesia methods.

To participate in this trial, children aged 6 to 12 who are able to cooperate during dental assessments may be eligible. They should have at least one primary molar (baby tooth) that needs either treatment or extraction. However, children with certain health issues, such as disabilities, allergies to anesthesia, or those on specific medications, will not be able to join. If enrolled, participants can expect to receive either the new anesthesia method or the standard one during their dental visit, helping researchers understand which works better for managing pain in pediatric patients.
