Abstract

Pain management is one of the most important factors for achieving a successful treatment and behaviour management in pediatric dentistry. Although conventional anesthesia with traditional syringes is the most frequently used technique,  it can be difficult for clinicians to administer especially in pediatric patients. Nowadays, with the newly developed techniques such as digital anesthesia systems, a more effective and painless  local anesthesia can be achieved.In this presentation, we will be discussing the digital anesthesia systems using the most effective local anesthesia administering techniques with the help of the current evidence and clinical cases to better understand the advantages of these systems and techniques.The main goal is to achieve painless and effective anesthesia in pediatric patients.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the significance of pain management in pediatric dentistry and its role in successful treatment and behavior guidance.
• Identify the limitations and challenges of conventional syringe-based anesthesia techniques in children.
• Explore the principles and functionality of digital anesthesia systems and how they differ from traditional methods.
• Evaluate current evidence and clinical cases demonstrating the effectiveness and advantages of digital anesthesia in pediatric patients.
• Gain practical insights and strategies to administer painless and efficient local anesthesia using digital systems in everyday pediatric dental practice.
