Managing pain and anxiety during dental anesthesia remains a key concern, particularly in procedures involving needle-sensitive adult patients. Needle-free jet injection systems, such as Comfort- InTM, offer a potential alternative to conventional syringes by minimizing invasiveness and enhancing patient comfort during simple tooth extractions.
the study aimed to compare the efficacy, patient comfort, and pain perception between the conventional syringe injection technique and the needle-free jet injection system (Comfort-In) in dental anesthesia for simple tooth extractions.

Pain perception survey
Pain levels were recorded using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in a survey after the extraction procedures. VAS scores were measured by asking patients to mark their pain level on a 1-10 line, and these pain scores were summarized using means and standard deviations (SD), and medians with interquartile ranges (IQR). ( 1 low pain, 10 worst pain)
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of assessment of treatment at 24 weeks
Pain perception survey
Pain levels were recorded using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in a survey after the extraction procedures. NRS scores were recorded verbally by the patient on a scale from 0 to 10, and these pain scores were summarized using means and standard deviations (SD), and medians with interquartile ranges (IQR). ( 0 is low pain, 10 worst pain)
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of assessment of treatment at 24 weeks
