Clinical Success of 12 mm Needle IANB in Children
Sponsor: Al-Azhar University
Summary
This prospective single-arm pilot study will evaluate the clinical success of an inferior alveolar nerve block performed using a 12 mm 30-gauge extra-short dental needle in children aged 4 to 12 years. The study will assess whether this needle length can provide effective local anesthesia for dental treatment in children while minimizing potential complications associated with greater needle penetration. The study will also document any adverse events or complications related to the injection technique

12 mm 30-Gauge Extra-Short Dental Needle
A 12 mm, 30-gauge extra-short dental needle will be used to administer an inferior alveolar nerve block for local anesthesia during dental treatment in children aged 4 to 12 years. The clinical success of the nerve block and any injection-related adverse events or complications will be assessed and recorded.
