Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain at different anesthesia methods
Time Frame: after dental treatments to 24 hour
The pain perception scores in the two anesthesia methods were assessed with Wong-Baker Pain Scale (Wong-Baker Scale is pain assessment method.It consists of 6 facial expressions that are evaluated from 0 to 10 according to the severity of the pain.)
