Efficacy of Pulpal Anesthesia using a Needle-less Syringe

Abstract

Dentistry utilizes many resources with the intention of reducing patient anxiety during local anesthetic administration. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of a new needle-less intraligamentary injection device, the Numbee by BioDent (Simi Valley, CA) to the traditional Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) block. This study evaluated pain upon injection and potential to achieve pulpal anesthesia during a caries restorative procedure on mandibular teeth. Methods: A randomized, split-mouth design of 15 adult subjects receiving two anesthetic dental injections using 2% lidocaine with1:100,000 epinephrine was conducted.
