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.
Interventions
Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) scale was applied to determine the anxiety level before the procedure.
Face Image Scale (FIS) scoring system (1= not afraid at all, 2= very little afraid, 3= afraid, 4= quite afraid, 5= very much afraid) was used to determine the anxiety level before starting anesthesia and after the anesthesia.
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.
Before starting anesthesia and after the anesthesia the patient's pulse rate was measured and recorded with a pulse oximeter.
