To assess the efficacy of an innovative vibrating device and compare it with the conventional method in reducing discomfort during the administration of local anesthesia.
Forty children in the age-group of 4-8 years requiring local anesthesia for routine dental procedures were allocated to either a control or experimental group, with 20 children in each group. The preoperative assessment of behavior was carried out using the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale. Both groups received local anesthesia using the intraoral conventional approach. However, in the experimental group, a vibrating device was simultaneously placed over the cheek during local anesthesia administration. The SEM (sounds, eyes, motor) scale was used to assess the level of comfort or pain during the administration of local anesthesia. Data were subjected to statistical analysis and the level of significance was considered at 5%.
The mean SEM score in the control group was 6.65 ± 21.95 which was significantly higher than 3.80 ± 1.15 in the experimental group ( < 0.001).
The vibrating device was useful and effective in reducing pain and discomfort during intraoral local anesthesia administration.

评估一种创新振动装置在减轻局部麻醉给药过程中不适感方面的疗效，并将其与传统方法进行比较。
40名年龄在4至8岁、因常规牙科手术需要局部麻醉的儿童被分为对照组或实验组，每组20名儿童。使用弗兰克尔行为评定量表对行为进行术前评估。两组均采用口腔内传统方法进行局部麻醉。然而，在实验组中，局部麻醉给药时在脸颊上同时放置了一个振动装置。使用SEM（声音、眼睛、动作）量表评估局部麻醉给药期间的舒适或疼痛程度。对数据进行统计分析，显著性水平设定为5%。
对照组的平均SEM评分为6.65±21.95，显著高于实验组的3.80±1.15（<0.001）。
该振动装置在减轻口腔内局部麻醉给药过程中的疼痛和不适感方面是有用且有效的。
