Wand STA vs SleeperOne for Pediatric Local Anesthesia (WASO-Kids)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dental Anxiety, Pain Management

In brief

This randomized, single-blind, split-mouth trial compares the acceptance of two computer-controlled local anaesthetic delivery (CCLAD) systems - Wand® STA and SleeperOne⑤ - in children aged 4-9 years undergoing comparable bilateral dental treatment. Each child receives local anaesthesia via both devices at separate visits, with pain, behaviour, heart rate, and oxygen saturation recorded at each session, to determine whether the two systems differ in child acceptance and physiological response.
