Comparing Controlled Flow Delivery Dentapen® Technique to Traditional Syringes

Early Childhood Caries

Local anesthetic injections are usually the main reason for fear and anxiety during dental
      treatment. Pain management is a critical aspect of pediatric dental care. Fear associated
      with seeing and experiencing needle penetration, sensation of swelling soft tissues and
      prolonged numbness as well as allergic reactions to the anesthetic fluid, are the most common
      factors causing patients and dental clinicians to experience anxiety regarding the use of
      infiltration local anesthesia. Exploring new alternative and a traumatic method will help
      improving the quality of care in pediatric dentistry.

      Consequently, there is a constant search for new techniques looking to avoid the invasive and
      often painful nature of the anaesthetic injection required for dental treatments, making it a
      more pleasant and less distressing experience for patients.

      Even though there are no techniques available that can totally replace conventional local
      anaesthesia, some alternatives have been developed that are effective in a limited range of
      procedures. In 1997, a new method for the administration of anaesthetics was launched: the
      computer- controlled local anaesthesia delivery system (CCLADS). After

      2006, the single tooth anaesthesia system (STA) (Milestone Scientific, Inc. Livingston, NJ,
      USA) was also introduced.

      Currently, one of the most discouraging aspects for many patients undergoing dental
      procedures is the administration of anaesthesia. Consequently, there is a constant search for
      new techniques to avoid the invasive and painful nature of the injection. A new, cableless,
      motorised syringe system (Dentapen®) has recently been developed, standing out for its
      convenience and ease of use. The slow injection of anaesthetics at low pressure appears to
      reduce pain and discomfort during dental anaesthesia, and that currently does not require
      specific training. It has several injection settings, allowing it to be held like a syringe
      or pen, and is compatible with all anaesthetic needles and cartridges from all brands with an
      accurate control of flow and pressure of the injection can therefore mitigate the pain
      experienced by these patients.

      So, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of controlled flow delivery
      Dentapen® technique on pain perception among a group of pediatric dental patients in
      comparison to conventional injection technique.
