Abstract
Background: According to the ''gate control'' approach, pain can be minimized by activating bigger diameter nerve fibers with appropriate coldness, warmth, rubbing, pressure, or vibration.
Aim : The present study investigated the efficacy of a vibrotactile device, Dentalvibe (DV), for needle-related procedural pain in comparison to conventional techniques (CCLAD, needle, topical jelly, vibraject, and Nitrous oxide inhalation sedation) of local anaesthesia in paediatric patients.
Materials and Methods: 150 children aged 8 -12 years participated in a randomized controlled clinical study and divided into 6 test groups. Pain perception and comfort were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the 10-point scale, respectively.
Result: The pain perception was compared between the groups, and results were calculated based on the mean outcome. The results showed a significant reduction in pain with dental vibe compared to other techniques, whereas similar results were shown by nitrous oxide inhalation sedation (NIOS) and dental vibe.
Conclusion: Our study shows that the vibration technique with the DentalVibe device can be used as a simple and efficient method to alleviate pain associated with dental injections compared to traditional local anaesthetic techniques.
