NCT06340022

Brief Summary

The conventional method used for dental anesthesia in children is the administration of a local anesthetic solution by injection. Although this process successfully eliminates pain during the procedure, it continues to be a problem for many children in terms of dental anxiety before and during anesthesia administration. The aim of this study is to compare intraosseous anesthesia with SleeperOne® 5, a computer-assisted local anesthesia system, with conventional local anesthesia techniques in terms of pain and anxiety.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • The pulse rate measurements before and after the anesthesia techniques

    Application and recording of scale measurements of pulse rate before and after the anesthesia techniques (normal 70-120 bpm)

    7 months

  • Determine the anxiety level before the procedures

    Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) scale before the anesthesia procedures. A score between 1 and 5 was made according to the answers given to each question in this scale (1 point = not at all afraid, 2 points = slightly afraid, 3 points = moderately afraid, 4 points = quite afraid, 5 points = very afraid). If the score obtained from the CFSS-DS measurement results is below 38, it is considered as non-anxious, between 38-45 as significant dental anxiety, and as 45 and above as high level dental anxiety.

    7 months

  • The anxiety measurements before and after the anesthesia techniques

    Application and recording of scale measurements of Face Image Scale (FIS) scoring system before and after the anesthesia techniques.(1= not afraid at all, 2= very little afraid, 3= afraid, 4= quite afraid, 5= very much afraid)

    7 months

  • The pain measurements during the anesthesia techniques

    In the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the patient was asked to rate the pain he/she felt during anesthesia on a 10 cm long ruler ranging from no pain=0 to unbearable pain=10. The results were recorded on the forms.

Study Arms (2)

Upper jaw

EXPERIMENTAL

* A half of upper jaw: Electronic local anesthesia technique (SleeperOne) A topical anesthetic spray containing 10% lidocaine was applied with a cotton pellet for 1 minute.The SleeperOne® 5 (Dentalhitec, Mazières-en-Mauges, France) device was used with 30 gauge-0.30x09 mm Effitec needle tips for intraosseous anesthesia. The anesthesia was applied in child mode according to the manufacturer.1 ml of local anesthetic solution (Ultracaine D-S Fort) was applied for 1 minute. * The contralateral half of the upper jaw: Infiltrative anesthesia (conventional) After confirming the vitality of the tooth, a topical anesthetic spray was applied with a cotton pellet for 1 minute. A local anesthetic, Maxicaine Forte, was administered for 1.5 ml for 1 minute using buccal infiltration anesthesia technique using short syringes.

Lower jaw

EXPERIMENTAL

* A half of lower jaw: Electronic local anesthesia technique (SleeperOne) A topical anesthetic spray containing 10% lidocaine was applied with a cotton pellet for 1 minute.The SleeperOne® 5 (Dentalhitec, Mazières-en-Mauges, France) device was used with 30 gauge-0.30x09 mm Effitec needle tips for intraosseous anesthesia. The anesthesia was applied in child mode according to the manufacturer.1 ml of local anesthetic solution (Ultracaine D-S Fort) was applied for 1 minute. * The contralateral half of the lower jaw: mandibular anesthesia (conventional) After topical anesthesia, mandibular anesthesia with Maxicaine Forte,in an amount of 1.8 ml was administered for 1 minute using long syringes.
