• Registration Number: NCT04653974
• Lead Sponsor: Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the pain perception associated with a needle-free injection system( Comfort-In) and dental injection method in filling and pulpotomy treatments

Detailed Description

Needle-free injection system(Comfort-In) and dental injection method was applied on the teeth of children who need dental treatment.70 patients were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two grups according to the injection technique.

Group1: Needle-free injection system(Comofrt-In) 2:Dental injection method. The pain intensity was assessed during anesthesia, during treatment and at the end of thetreatment by the Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale.

The datas were analyzed with a three-way variance method in repeated.
