Year: 2024
Type: article
Study designs: Randomized Controlled Trial, Clinical Trial
Abstract: Aims and background: To evaluate and compare pain perception with Septoject XL and conventional needles in 6-8 years old children. Materials and methods: In this split-mouth randomized controlled trial, a single-blinded study, 24 children (6-8 years) were assigned at random to receive the local anesthetic (LA) injection for treatment needs either with Septoject XL or conventional needle for the first visit in one of the quadrants, while during the second visit in a different quadrant with the other one. Children's pain levels were assessed during each visit using an objective sound eye motor (SEM) scale and subjective Wong-Baker faces rating scale (FRS). Results: = 0.873). Conclusion: Statistically, NS difference was observed in the pain perception while administration of LA using Septoject XL or conventional needle in 6-8-year-old children. Clinical significance: This research can be useful in the selection of the gauge of the needle to be used while planning the treatment for different behavior groups.
