First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an electronic syringe (Smartject) causes less pain during injection and provides longer numbing than a traditional syringe. Thirty adults received numbing shots on both sides of their mouth, one with each device. Researchers measured how quickly numbness started and how much pain people felt.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a less painful way to deliver local anesthesia for dental work.
