The palatal injection: A painless approach
Section: Research Paper
Abstract
A painless approach to the well known painful palatal injection using topical application of pressure is described. Seventy dental patients requiring anesthesia of the palatal tissue (soft and hard) for:surgical procedures were chosen for the study. A highly significant value (p>0.01) of a painless injection was noticed when the ipsilateral side was compared with the contralateral side in the same patient. Further studies on this approach are recommended to further evaluate its success.
