Firstly, we assessed the pain experienced by patients (VAS scale) based on the type of syringe used, showing highly significant differences ( p -value < 0.01), with lower reported pain when using the Dentapen ® syringe, with a mean value of 1.06 ± 1.28 points, compared with the results obtained in procedures where the conventional syringe was used, with 2.63 ± 1.86 mean points.
