No-Needle dental numbing: could a new device spare kids the shot?
NCT ID NCT06576609
First seen Jan 06, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a needleless device (INJEX) can reduce pain and improve behavior in children aged 7-10 during dental fillings compared to a traditional syringe. Fifty children received both methods in different teeth, and researchers measured pain using the FLACC scale and behavior with the Frankel scale. The goal is to find a less frightening and more comfortable way to numb kids' teeth for dental work.
