The goal of this clinical study is to compare patients' self-reported pain and mental stress during infiltration anesthesia between conventional syringe and Dentapen. Outcome 1: VAS score of self-reported pain during dental anesthesia Outcome 2: Heart rate variability during dental anesthesia

The participants were delivered local anesthesia using a computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery (CCLAD) device.
Conventional syrine was used to administer local anesthesia. Participants in this group would received manual anesthesia.

Heart rate variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) is is the precise measure of the variation in time (milliseconds) between consecutive heartbeats. HRV is measured using a device around patient chest.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of tooth extraction treatment at 4 weeks. Each patient experienced two extraction treatments with 4-week interval.
Self-reported pain
Patients reported how much pain intensity that they feel during dental anesthesia by using a visual analogue scale. Scale value ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (maximum pain).
Time frame: Patients reported right after dental anesthesia delivery.
