Clinical Study: A Vibration Device To Control Injection Discomfort

June 2017 Clinical Study Conducted By Jeffry R. Shaefer, DDS, MS, MPH; Stephanie J. Lee, BS; and Nina K. Anderson, PhD; of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

The aim of this study was to evaluate both the efficacy of DentalVibe® in reducing pain and discomfort from intraoral long buccal (LB) and inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injections and the time needed to achieve complete anesthesia during an IAN block.

This study compared the pain rating for an oral injection in the inferior alveolar nerve block. Twenty patients were asked to rate the pain between an injection with topical anesthetic and an injection with topical anesthetic and a vibratory device. The vibratory device yielded significantly lower pain ratings.
