Overview
Brief Summary
This single-blind two-arm randomized control trial (RCT) aims to evaluate the pain perception during and following administration of dental local anaesthesia using two different systems; i.e. computer-controlled (CCLA) and conventional.
Detailed Description
The administration of local anaesthesia (LA) is associated with pain, fear and anxiety. Computer-controlled LA (CCLA) aims to control the administration speed and reduce pain, fear and anxiety. This randomised control trial (RCT) aims to compare the pain perception after CCLA and conventional LA, and it uses dental students as both test and operator group versus an experienced dentist as an additional operator of the LA.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain on Puncture (PoP)
Time Frame: Within 2 hours
Self-reported pain intensity on puncture using visual analogue scale (0 = no pain- 10 = the worse pain)
Pain during Delivery (PdD)
Time Frame: Within 2 hours
Self-reported pain intensity during delivery of the anaesthetic solution sing visual analogue scale (0 = no pain- 10 = the worse pain)
Secondary Outcomes
- Dental Anxiety (DA)(Within 2 hours)
