A comparative evaluation of pain and anxiety levels in 2 different anesthesia techniques: locoregional anesthesia using conventional syringe versus intraosseous anesthesia using a computer-controlled system (Quicksleeper)

Comparison of a new auto-controlled injection system with traditional syringe for mandibular infiltrations in children: A randomized clinical trial

“…However, these cannot be controlled manually; hence, many systems that allow the LA solution to be administered comfortably to the patient in different areas of the oral cavity at a continuous pressure and flow, irrespective of the tissue resistance were introduced into the clinical practice. [8] Studies showed the reduction in pain and increased comfort during injection with these systems,[91011] and the clinical benefit ascribed the success of the computer systems to low pressure and slow delivery of the solution. [9] On the other hand, the reported disadvantages with these systems are the cost, extra time taken for LA administration, space occupied by the equipment, and complexity of the equipment.…”

“…[791112131415161718] Gauge of the needle is reported to influence the pain of an injection;[1113] however, dissimilar needle gauges were selected in some of the studies reported till date,[71219] which can bias the results. Studies on various types of injections such as local infiltrations (including palatal pricks), nerve blocks, periodontal ligament (PDL), and intraosseous injections are available.…”

“…Studies on various types of injections such as local infiltrations (including palatal pricks), nerve blocks, periodontal ligament (PDL), and intraosseous injections are available. [10111516] Pertaining to the mandible, inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) was considered in majority of these studies;[1219] however, in children below 10 years, it was proposed that the anesthetic solution can spread quickly and smoothly in infiltration techniques as mandible is less compact and the cortex is crossed by many canals. [20] Moreover, IANB is associated with complications such as nerve, vascular or muscle injuries, and myofascial pain.…”

Comparative Analysis Between Computed and Conventional Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Techniques

“…However, a greater satisfaction with the conventional technique was obtained, because it took less time to be performed as compared with the computed anesthesia. 18 A longer computer-controlled anesthesia average time, as compared with the conventional technique, was observed-3.85 minutes  1.61 minutes-with significant differences between them.…”

Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Anesthetic Delivery System (Sta�) in Dental Implant Surgery: A Prospective Study

“…The increased comfort and better patient's acceptance during STA have been extensively documented on pediatric dentistry research (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Several comparative studies between CLA and conventional injections have been conducted also in periodontology, endodontics, prosthetics, maxillofacial surgery and restorative dentistry (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). To the best of our knowledge, effectiveness and potential advantages of STA on dental implant surgery have not been investigated so far.…”
