Summary
This study tested a needle-free injector called Comfort-In for numbing the palate in children aged 6-16 needing tooth extractions. Fifty kids received either the needle-free device or a traditional dental injection. Researchers measured pain using two standard scales. The goal was to see if the needle-free method causes less pain.
