Can a computer-controlled injection make dental visits less painful for kids with sensitive teeth?
NCT ID NCT07733011
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a computer-controlled local anesthesia device causes less pain and anxiety than a traditional injection in children aged 8-12 with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that makes teeth sensitive. Each child will receive both methods on different teeth to compare comfort, effectiveness, and preference. The goal is to find a gentler way to numb teeth before dental treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system (SleeperOne) using 4% articaine with epinephrine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a less painful dental experience for children with sensitive teeth due to MIH.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 children, so results may not apply to all kids or dental procedures. The device may not reduce pain or anxiety as hoped.
