Background:
In pediatric dental treatment, administration of local anesthesia (LA) is a fearful condition that leads to "escape alert" in children. This escaping treatment excuse, unfortunately, ends up worsening the overall oral health of the child. Hence, it is crucial to cultivate child-friendly methods to reduce pain during injection.
Aim:
To assess which system, the Buzzy system or the conventional masked with camouflage syringe, aids in a greater reduction of pain perception in patients during LA procedures.
Method:
A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 34 subjects aged between 5 and 12 years who required LA administration. Subjects were recruited by lottery method into group I-conventional masked with camouflage technique (control), group II-precooling along with vibration using the Buzzy system (experimental).
Results:
In the present study, the pain score using the Buzzy system was statistically lower compared to the experimental group (p = 0.0001).
Conclusion:
The Buzzy system is a compatible and economical method to diminish dental pain perception during LA administration.
