Study summary

The purpose is to compare the efficacy of an intraosseous anaesthesia using a computerized system (QuickSleeper) to a conventional infiltration anesthesia. Our hypothesis is that anesthesia via QuickSleeper system can reduce pain during anesthesia and obtain a more rapid local anesthesia compared to the anesthesia via conventional technique by infiltration.

Design: split-mouth design AND parallel-arm design

Read the detailed description

Local anesthesia is commonly used in oral health care and intra-mucosal infiltration anesthesia is most commonly used by practitioners. Anesthesia may cause children a great deal of anxiety because of the fear of the injection. The latter can be painful if the product is delivered too quickly in the mucosa. Recent developments in the techniques and anesthesia systems allow reducing pain during the injection. In particular, computerized systems (electronically assisted local anesthesia) allow a slow injection limiting pressure. Moreover, these systems look like a pen which prevents the negative impression of the image related to the syringe metal. The intraosseous electronically-assisted anesthesia could be an interesting alternative to conventional infiltration anesthesia by making the act less stressful but also less painful for the child.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain reported by the patient according to the visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Pain reported by the patient according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) will be evaluated at the end of the injection / infiltration. The assessment will concern the insertion of the needle and the injection / infiltration

    Time frame: up to 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. latency

    latency (in minutes) evaluated by examining the sensitivity of the sulcus using a probe (an exam will be conducted every minute until the sulcus is insensitive to the probe)

    Time frame: up to 15 minutes

  2. need for additional anesthesia during the treatment

    Time frame: 1 hour

  3. pain felt during the treatment

    need for additional anesthesia during the treatment; pain felt during the treatment evaluated at the end of treatment according to the VAS

    Time frame: 1 hour

The record gives a start of Jan 2015, a primary completion of Feb 2017 and a completion of Feb 2017. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 23, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
