Abstract:
A new technique for diminishing the discomfort of a palatal injection has been described. The technique utilizes a cotton pellet saturated with dichlorodifluoromethane spray held in contact with the tissue 5 seconds to freeze a small portion of the surface tissue. The injection needle then penetrates the frozen tissue with little discomfort to the patient.
