Abstract

Background: 
Dental anxiety is a prevalent issue among children, often triggered by the administration of local anesthesia. Fear of needles can lead to behavioral management challenges and avoidance of dental treatment. Various syringe techniques have been explored to minimize pain and anxiety. This study evaluates the impact of an insulin syringe compared to a safety syringe on pain perception and dental anxiety in children undergoing dental extractions.
