Summary

This study tested whether a computer-controlled numbing device (SleeperOne) causes less pain and anxiety than traditional numbing shots in 28 children aged 6–12 with a tooth condition called MIH. The children had deep cavities in their back teeth and needed dental treatment. Researchers measured pain using rating scales and anxiety through heart rate, oxygen levels, and stress hormones. The goal was to find a gentler way to make dental visits more comfortable for kids.
