Dental electro‐anaesthesia in children: a pilot study

Abstract: Summary. Sixty‐six children aged 10–17 years, with previous experience of local anaesthesia, had one or more restorations placed while using the Cedeta Mark 2 electronic dental anaesthesia system. A control group of 121 children were treated routinely using injected local anaesthetic. Following all treatment the patients used a 10 cm visual analogue scale to subjectively report the severity of any pain they had experienced. Eighteen (27%) of the study group required injection of local anaesthetic to complete … Show more

“…Numerous devices were investigated during the 1990s; interestingly, much of this research was in paediatric patient populations. In 1996, Jones and Blinkhorn compared electronic anaesthesia with local anaesthetic injection in patients aged 10-17 years having restorative dental procedures [52], concluding that the electronic anaesthesia study group had significantly higher pain scores than the control group and thus electronic anaesthesia was not an appropriate substitute for injected local anaesthetic. Another study published in the same year compared electronic anaesthesia with placebo electronic anaesthesia in paediatric patients having restorative dental procedures [53].…”
