High-Tech pen aims to make Kids' tooth pulls Pain-Free
NCT ID NCT07575035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new computer-controlled injection device called Super Pen to numb the gums before removing baby molars in children aged 5-7. The goal is to see if it causes less pain and stress compared to the standard numbing shot. Researchers will measure heart rate, oxygen levels, and use pain scales to compare the two methods.
