Abstract Background:
Topical anesthesia ensures precision and comfort, making every procedure smoother and stress-free. Topical anesthetic sprays are widely used to ease discomfort during local anesthesia but may lead to hypersalivation and reduced effectiveness due to aerosol spread. The innovative "Little Numb Tip" minimizes these issues with its conical disposable cap, ensuring targeted delivery and enhancing patient comfort. This advancement improves precision and reduces complications during dental procedures.
Aim:
To evaluate and compare the levels of pain, discomfort, efficacy, and patient acceptance of the topical anesthetic spray applied with the conventional tip versus the Little Numb Tip.
Materials and Methodology:
A total 20 patients were selected and the topical anaethesia was applied using conventional tip and the little numb tip on the consecutive appointments. Random ball selection method was implied to avoid bias in the study. The physical parameters like heart rate and oxygen saturation were recorded before and after the anaesthesia application. Visual analogue scale was implied to measured pain perception and the undesirable effects like hypersalivation, gag reflex, unpleasant patient experience and acceptance were also noted.
Results:
There was a significant difference in the pain scores, and patient acceptance was seen in the little numb tip group compared to that of conventional tip. Little numb tip also reduced the undesirable affects in the patients followed by topical anaesthesia application.
Conclusion:
The Little Numb Tip enhances pediatric dental procedures by improving anesthetic delivery, reducing pain, and increasing patient acceptance.
