Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to compare two local anesthetic administration techniques for maxillary dental procedures on primary teeth in children, in order to determine whether patients prefer to have local anesthetic administered via a nasal spray or submucosal infiltration. Methods: A randomized, controlled trial with a crossover design was conducted in which patients age 6-8, weighing greater than 20kg, and requiring dental treatment on maxillary primary molars were selectively administered either intranasal Kovanaze (St. Renatus, Ft. Collins, CO) or traditional submucosal anesthetic prior to dental treatment. Following a washout period, the patient returned to have the contralateral tooth restored using the alternative anesthetic. Subjective and objective pain assessments were recorded at various points during each appointment and patients were asked their preferred technique after completing both appointments. Results: Seven subjects were enrolled in the study. Five have received Kovanaze nasal anesthetic prior to dental treatment. Two out of five participants receiving Kovanaze successfully completed the planned dental treatment while the remaining three participants had treatment aborted due to inadequate anesthesia. Two out of three participants who completed both study visits stated that they preferred to be anesthetized with the nasal spray as compared to lidocaine or articaine. Conclusions: In this sample, two out of five patients were adequately anesthetized for dental treatment via intranasal Kovanaze. Two out of three patients preferred Kovanaze to a lidocaine or articaine infiltration. Further research is needed on this topic.
