Summary

This study tested a needle-free injection system called Comfort-in to see if it could reduce pain and anxiety in children during dental procedures. Sixty children aged 5 to 8 who needed dental work on both sides of their mouth received both the needle-free system and a conventional needle injection in separate visits. The researchers measured pain using behavioral scales and self-reports to compare the two methods.
