The Comparison of Pain Perception Rate During The Anterior Middle Superior Alveolar (AMSA) Injection Using CCLAD and Conventional Syringe – Kalaivani Balan - 160110103026
ABSTRACT
A new palatal injection, Anterior Middle Superior Alveolar injection
technique can be done with a new computerized anesthetic system, The Wand to
prevent severe puncture and injection pain. The new system provides comfortable
anesthesia for patients and can be a good alternative for conventional manual
syringe injection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pain rate of
computerized anesthesia delivery system, The Wand compared to a conventional
syringe anesthetic delivery.
Fifteen Unpad students volunteers from the ages 20-25 were used in the
study. Each participant were given contralateral palatal injections, one side was
injected with The Wand and the control side was injected using conventional
syringe. Pain rate were evaluated using subjective pain response and physiologic
parameter, the hemodynamic changes and Numeric Pain Rating scale respectively.
Results showed that The Wand injection has a lower pain rate compared to
conventional syringe injection based on pain rate scale and physiologic parameter
hemodynamic changes. Injection using the Wand has a smaller pain rate
compared to conventional syringe with significance value (p=0.000) using
Numeric Pain Rating scale. Whilst, there were no significant differences in
hemodynamic changes.
In conclusion, this study reveals AMSA injection using a new anesthetic
system, The Wand reduces injection pain and provides comfortable anesthesia for
patients and can be a good alternative than conventional manual syringe injection.
