Could a new needle design make dental shots Pain-Free?
NCT ID NCT07703410
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares a specially designed needle tip, the Transcodent painless needle, with a standard dental needle to see if it causes less pain during injections in the upper front teeth area. Sixty adults needing dental work on both sides of their mouth will receive injections with both needle types, and they will rate their pain right after each injection. The goal is to find a way to make dental procedures more comfortable for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a dental needle tip with a three-edge lancet grinding bevel and silicone coating designed to reduce injection pain
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this needle tip could make dental injections less painful, improving patient comfort during routine procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The needle tip may not significantly reduce pain compared to standard needles.
