Introduction: After tooth extraction, it is normal for the area to bleed and then clot, generally within a few minutes. It is abnormal if bleeding continues without clot formation, or lasts beyond 8 to 12 hours; this is known as post-extraction bleeding (PEB). Such bleeding incidents can cause distress for patients, who might need emergency dental consultations and interventions. The causes of PEB can be local, a systemic disease, or a medication
Objective of this study to assess the needle free jet anesthesia comfort-in™ on post extraction bleeding and inflammation in children.
Materials & Methods: The study was performed on 50 Egyptian children patients who are attending the pediatric dental clinic for treatment at Pedodontics and Oral Health Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Boys, Cairo, Al-Azhar University.
Results: It was found that using jet technique result in less inflammatory mediators than using syringe technique.
Conclusion: jet technique is a promising technique in anaesthesia with a high success rate and showing competitive properties to syringe technique. It has the power to be an alternative for syringe technique.
