NCT ID NCT07156396
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a computer-controlled anesthetic device (SleeperOne) to a traditional syringe for numbing kids' teeth before extraction. 28 children aged 3-5 will be randomly assigned to one method. Pain, anxiety, and heart rate will be measured to see if the device makes the injection more comfortable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SleeperOne® device (computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system) with 3% mepivacaine and 20% benzocaine topical gel
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a less painful and less scary way to give dental injections to young children, improving their experience and cooperation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 children, so results may not apply to all kids or settings. The device may not significantly reduce pain compared to the standard method.
