Summary

This study investigated the Dental Vibe Injection Comfort System (DV), developed to lessen anesthesia pain through pulsed vibration, a form of counter-stimulation. The study's aims were to evaluate DV's efficacy in reducing pain/discomfort from intra-oral long buccal (LB) and inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injections and the time needed to achieve complete anesthesia during an IAN block.
