An interventional study of Electronic Syringe Intraligament Technique and Electronic syringe IANB Technique in Effectiveness of Anesthesia Using Electronic Syringe in Children in the Context of Endotopy Treatment, sponsored by Latakia University. Completed at 1 site in Syria. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 10 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-20.
Sponsored by Latakia University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This randomized clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and pain response of two local anesthesia techniques in pediatric dental treatment using an electronic syringe: ligament anesthesia and inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). The study applies both techniques to the same sample, where each child undergoes pulpectomy for two different teeth, each under the influence of a different anesthesia technique, during two separate visits.
This study comes in the context of technological advancements in dentistry, which led to the development of computerized syringes as an alternative to traditional syringes. These devices are characterized by precise control of the anesthetic flow rate, as well as containing musical and auditory systems aimed at distracting the child and reducing feelings of fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment. Additionally, computerized syringes provide audible indicators showing the amount of anesthetic injected and support multiple injection modes such as rapid injection, slow injection, and ligament injection, allowing for more efficient and comfortable anesthetic delivery.
Pain intensity will be assessed during three stages of the treatment procedure: during anesthesia administration, during placement of the rubber dam, and during opening of the pulp chambers. Post-procedure pain will also be evaluated using an age-appropriate validated pain scale, along with assessing the satisfaction level of both the children and their parents regarding the use of the electronic syringe as an alternative anesthesia tool. These combined measures aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the child's experience during dental treatment and contribute to improving anesthesia practices in pediatric dentistry.

Exclusion Criteria:
Children receive inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using an electronic syringe. The injection is performed with controlled speed and pressure to ensure efficient pulpal anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
Device: Electronic syringe IANB Technique
Children receive intraligamentary anesthesia using an electronic syringe. The anesthetic is administered around the tooth ligament to provide localized anesthesia with minimal invasiveness and reduced discomfort.
Device: Electronic Syringe Intraligament Technique
Use of an electronic syringe device to deliver local anesthesia using the periodontal ligament (PDL) technique in pediatric dental patients
Use of an electronic syringe device to deliver local anesthesia via the Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Technique in pediatric dental patients
