Introduction: A current non-pharmacological mean for attaining painless local anaesthesia (LA) is presented by dental vibe devices. Their concept is to reduce injection pain due to distraction by applying physical stimuli which interfere with pain signals. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of the dental vibe (DV) device in reducing pain and anxiety associated with LA in paediatric patients. A dental cartridge for LA contains Nitrogen Bubble, 1-2mm in diameter and is present to prevent Oxygen from being trapped in the cartridge and potentially destroying the Vasopressor or vasoconstrictor, so this is the function of Nitrogen Bubble in the LA cartridge. Hence dental cartridges have their own significance in delivering LA drugs. Methods & Analysis: The proposed study is a randomised controlled clinical trial with split-mouth design. Included are positive patients aged 7-12 years, requiring buccal and lingual infiltration for extraction of retained deciduous anterior maxilla. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding the use of dental vibe with cartridges for LA by dental practitioners. Objective: The study is done as a questionnaire survey among the practitioners in a region. The questionnaire is framed under the criteria of knowledge, attitude, preference, practice, advantages and disadvantages of dental vibe with cartridges for LA. Results: Results shows that the knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding the use of dental vibe with cartridges for LA by dental practitioners is adequate (70%). Conclusion: The study is concluded that vigorous dental awareness program needs to be Initiated to address this concern.
