Pain-Free fillings? new device aims to take the ouch out of Kids' dental shots
NCT ID NCT07292194
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a computer-controlled device called the Super Pen causes less pain during dental numbing shots in children aged 6-12 compared to a standard syringe. Each child received both methods in a split-mouth design, and researchers measured pain through self-reports, behavior, and heart rate. The goal is to find a gentler way to deliver local anesthesia for common dental treatments.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could give dentists a less painful way to numb kids' teeth for fillings or crowns.
