Summary
This study compares two ways of giving numbing medicine to children during dental treatment: a computer-controlled pen-like device (Dentapen) versus a traditional syringe. About 42 children aged 6-8 will take part. The goal is to see if the Dentapen reduces anxiety and keeps heart rates lower during the injection.
