“…Hence, pediatric patients can benefit from this method. It can also be equally helpful for adult patients to produce analgesia during various conditions such as placing rubber dams, preparing cavities, capping pulp, performing endodontic procedures, preparing prosthetic teeth, performing oral prophylaxis, and extractions, and also to lessen pain during local anesthetic injection [10].…”

Even if local anesthetic is still the mainstay of pain management in dentistry, research will keep striving for novel and effective pain management techniques. The majority of research efforts are focused on improving anesthetic medications, delivery systems, and related methods. There are more recent technologies available that can assist the dentist in providing better pain relief with fewer unpleasant injections and fewer negative adverse effects. The purpose of the current review of the literature is to compile evidence that will convince dentists to employ modern local anesthetics, as well as other methods and techniques to reduce patient discomfort while administering anesthesia.

“…These vibrations are strong enough for the patients to perceive. When the intensity of vibrations exceeds the intensity of pain, the spinal cord dorsal grey horn blocks pain perception, thus preventing pain sensation during local anesthetic injections (Thilak et al, 2020).…”

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of vibration-assisted syringes versus conventional syringes on both pain and anxiety perception during dental local anesthetic injection in children. Materials and Methods: Forty-six children ranging in age from 4 to 6 years were randomly allocated to two equal groups. In group (I), children received intraoral injection using vibration-assisted syringes while in group (II), children received intraoral injection using conventional syringes. Children reaction for pain due to needle prick and local anesthetic injection was recorded through visual analogue scale, while the anxiety experienced was evaluated using visual facial anxiety scale. Results: Regarding pain score, group II (7.00±2.07) had higher score value than group I (6.52±2.2), but with no statistically significant difference (p=0.484).Although anxiety score in group II (3.78±1.31) had a higher value than in group I (3.57±1.41) , yet the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.551).No significant associations were observed between either gender and pain or gender and anxiety in both groups(p>0.05).A weak negative correlation was found between pain and age which was statistically significant in group II (rs=-0.480, p=0.019). Conclusions: The use of a vibration-assisted syringe didn't provide a significant reduction in dental pain perceived and anxiety expressed by children when compared with the conventional syringe. Further studies are needed to find alternatives to provide less painful local anesthetic injections in children.
