- Brief Summary
The conventional method used for dental anesthesia in children is the administration of a local anesthetic solution by injection. Although this process successfully eliminates pain during the procedure, it continues to be a problem for many children in terms of dental anxiety before and during anesthesia administration.
The aim of this study is to compare intraosseous anesthesia with SleeperOne® 5, a computer-assisted local anesthesia system, with conventional local anesthesia techniques in terms of pain and anxiety.
- Detailed Description
In the conventional injection technique, painful local swelling of the tissues at the injection site occurs during the administration of local anesthetics. Failure to control the rate of administration of anesthesia increases pain, swelling and tissue tension, leading to the discomfort and unpleasant sensations that accompany local anesthesia. In addition, an uncontrolled and shocking increase in pressure in the anesthetized tissues can lead to short-term blood supply disturbances and local damage, reducing the effectiveness of anesthesia and increasing the risk of side effects. It has been reported that the pain felt during anesthesia is mostly caused by the inability to control the pressure generated during the injection of the solution. To overcome these shortcomings, the search for new alternative and minimally invasive methods of local anesthesia has been in the limelight with better pain control, reduced injection pain and improved quality of treatment for pedodontic procedures. With the use of computer-assisted local anesthesia systems, the anesthetic solution is administered gradually and the tissue pressure during anesthesia can be controlled. Thus, a less painful and more comfortable anesthesia experience can be provided. SleeperOne® 5, one of the computer-assisted local anesthesia systems, is a device with advantages such as ease of use, less intimidating physical appearance of the needle, no need for pressure during injection, guided entry points to the injection site. There are no previous studies comparing the use of intraosseous technique with SleeperOne® 5 device and conventional mandibular anesthesia in mandibular permanent molars. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the pain and anxiety caused by the SleeperOne® 5 anesthesia system in children compared to traditional anesthesia methods, of which there are few studies in the literature. The first null hypothesis (H0) of the study is that there is no difference between intraosseous anesthesia administered with SleeperOne® 5 computer-assisted anesthesia systems and buccal infiltration and mandibular anesthesia administered with conventional methods in terms of anxiety in patients. The second null hypothesis of the study is that there is no difference between intraosseous anesthesia performed with SleeperOne® 5 computer-assisted anesthesia systems and buccal infiltration and mandibular anesthesia performed with conventional methods in terms of pain.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The anxiety measurements before and after the anesthesia techniques 7 months Application and recording of scale measurements of Face Image Scale (FIS) scoring system before and after the anesthesia techniques.(1= not afraid at all, 2= very little afraid, 3= afraid, 4= quite afraid, 5= very much afraid)
The pulse rate measurements before and after the anesthesia techniques 7 months Application and recording of scale measurements of pulse rate before and after the anesthesia techniques (normal 70-120 bpm)
Determine the anxiety level before the procedures 7 months Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) scale before the anesthesia procedures. A score between 1 and 5 was made according to the answers given to each question in this scale (1 point = not at all afraid, 2 points = slightly afraid, 3 points = moderately afraid, 4 points = quite afraid, 5 points = very afraid). If the score obtained from the CFSS-DS measurement results is below 38, it is considered as non-anxious, between 38-45 as significant dental anxiety, and as 45 and above as high level dental anxiety.
The pain measurements during the anesthesia techniques 7 months In the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the patient was asked to rate the pain he/she felt during anesthesia on a 10 cm long ruler ranging from no pain=0 to unbearable pain=10. The results were recorded on the forms.
