EFFECT OF BUZZY BEE TO REDUCE PAIN PERECEPTION DURING INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE BLOCK IN CHILDREN - A CROSS OVER STUDY

Pain management during invasive dental procedures is crucial to avoid noncompliance and treatment avoidance. Thus, measures to reduce injection discomfort are needed to prevent patients from avoiding dental treatment. Tooth extractions, and invasive dental procedures cause pain. Local anesthetics are one of the most effective and safest pain relievers. Even though many children have needle fear, anesthetic may still be uncomfortable. Fear of pain, especially in young children, is real since it affects health outcomes. Anxiety and fear may delay dental treatment and harm the patient's oral health. Distraction, topical anesthetic gel, modifying infiltration rate, intra-oral vibrating devices, computerized delivery systems, pre-cooling injection site, and other pharmacological, physical, and psychological interventions have all been proposed as potential pain relievers. An example of this kind of system One approach that combines an extraoral cold with a vibrating device is Buzzy Bee.
