Summary
The aim of the present study is to assess if there are differences on perceived pain during
local anesthesia performed with SleeperOne device or with a traditional syringe in pediatric
patients.
Patients responding to the inclusion criteria will be asked to participate to the study.
After signing the informed consent, they will undergo local anesthesia procedure on first or
second primary molars for the subsequent performing of dental filling. The split-mouth design
will randomly allocate first or second primary molar from one quadrant to SleeperOne
procedure, while the contralateral one will be subdued to local anesthesia with traditional
syringe.
After the procedure, patients will be asked to assess the perceived pain with a Visual
Analogue Scale from a range 0-10. VAS scales will be used to assess sensations of "size"
(related to the two instruments), bitter and vomit.
