A computer controlled dental anesthetic delivery system was studied with the OBJECTIVE of evaluating and comparing the unit to the traditional method of anesthetic delivery. The research design and METHOD of study involved the use of trained dentists who used both types of delivery systems on patients seen during their routine practice of dentistry. After the dental appointment was finished each dentist completed a survey concerning the injection. Patients completed a survey before the injection concerning their previous anesthetic experiences and completed another survey at the end of the dental appointment concerning the injection they had just received. Statistical analyses yielded RESULTS showing the two methods were rated very similarly by both patients and dentists. CONCLUSIONS resulting from the study are that computer controlled dental anesthetic injections and traditional anesthetic injections were accepted equally well by both dentists and patients.
研究了一种计算机控制的牙科麻醉剂输送系统，目的是评估该设备并将其与传统的麻醉剂输送方法进行比较。研究设计和方法包括让经过培训的牙医在日常牙科诊疗中对患者使用这两种输送系统。牙科诊疗结束后，每位牙医完成一份关于注射的调查问卷。患者在注射前完成一份关于他们以往麻醉经历的调查问卷，并在牙科诊疗结束时完成另一份关于他们刚接受的注射的调查问卷。统计分析结果表明，患者和牙医对这两种方法的评价非常相似。该研究得出的结论是，计算机控制的牙科麻醉注射和传统麻醉注射在牙医和患者中同样容易被接受。
