Which numbing method helps stop bleeding faster in Kids' Baby-Tooth procedures?
NCT ID NCT07810452
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
Researchers compare two ways to numb the lower jaw before a pulpotomy, a procedure that removes the top part of the pulp inside a baby molar. One method is the standard inferior alveolar nerve block given with a syringe. The other uses a computer-controlled device called QuickSleeper 5 to deliver anesthesia directly into the bone. Forty children aged 6 to 9 receive both methods in separate visits, one on each side of the mouth. The study measures how long it takes for bleeding to stop after the pulp is removed, plus pain, heart rate, and oxygen levels during treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Two local anesthesia techniques: conventional inferior alveolar nerve block and computer-controlled intraosseous anesthesia
- What this could lead to
- If one technique helps stop bleeding faster and causes less discomfort, dentists could choose it for pulpotomies in young children.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study of 40 children at one dental school. The findings may not apply to other clinics, and the split-mouth design means each child receives both techniques, which can complicate how results are interpreted.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 6-9 years. * Presence of a pulpotomy indication in both mandibular primary second molars (teeth 75 and 85). * Systemically healthy children classified as ASA physical status I or II. * No known coagulation disorders. * No use of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, or antipyretic medications within the previous 7 days. * Sufficient cooperation and compliance to allow completion of the planned clinical procedures. * Written informed consent obtained from a parent or legal guardian for participation in the study. * No history of a serious adverse reaction or complication associated with either of the local anesthesia techniques used in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Children with systemic health conditions classified as ASA physical status III or higher. * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the local anesthetic agents or other dental materials used in the study. * Presence of a known coagulation disorder or use of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, or antipyretic medications within the previous 7 days. * Presence of severe infection, pulp necrosis, advanced root resorption, or any other dental condition requiring a treatment approach other than pulpotomy in the mandibular primary second molars. * Insufficient cooperation or behavioral difficulties that would prevent completion of the planned clinical procedures. * History of a serious adverse reaction or complication associated with either of the local anesthesia techniques used in the study. * Inability to comply with the study protocol or attend the scheduled study visits.
