Can a Computer-Controlled injection make dental drilling Pain-Free for kids?
NCT ID NCT07736677
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a computer-controlled injection system can reduce pain during dental treatment in children aged 6 to 12 with a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which makes teeth sensitive. The device delivers numbing medicine directly into the bone, and the study compares it to standard numbing shots. The goal is to see if children report less pain during the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- computer-controlled intraosseous anaesthesia system (SleeperOne 5)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a less painful way to numb teeth for children with MIH, making dental visits easier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial, and the device may not prove superior to standard numbing methods for all children.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 6-12 years. * Confirmed diagnosis of molar-incisor hypomineralisation according to the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry diagnostic criteria. * Presence of an MIH-affected permanent first molar classified as Würzburg Category 1 or 2a and requiring either a direct resin composite restoration or a stainless steel crown. * Positive or definitely positive behaviour according to the Frankl Behaviour Rating Scale. * No known allergy to local anaesthetics. * No relevant systemic disease. Exclusion Criteria: * Receipt of analgesic, anxiolytic, or sedative medication within 48 hours before the treatment appointment. * Previous experience with intraosseous anaesthesia. * Presence of an acute dentoalveolar infection at the planned treatment site.
