The Effectiveness of Soft Tissue Vibration in Reducing Pain of Local Anesthesia Injection in Adult Dental Patients

The Effectiveness of Automated Soft Tissue Vibration in Reducing Pain and Accelerating Action of Intraoral Local Anesthesia Injections in Adult Dental Patients. A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial.

The clinical trial will compare pain perception during dental local anesthesia injections with and without using soft tissue vibration device prior to injection. The primary goal is to test the effectiveness of such devices in pain/discomfort reduction during intraoral local anesthesia injections in various techniques (infiltration and block anesthesia).
