Article Synopsis
  • Children's pain during dental procedures can be effectively reduced with computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery, which provides a steady flow of anesthetic.
  • A study comparing children's discomfort using traditional anesthetic methods versus a new auto-controlled injection method found that kids reported greater comfort with the computer-controlled device.
  • The study involved 25 children aged 6-12 and used self-report anxiety and pain scales to assess their experiences during both types of anesthesia administration.

Background: The ratio between second and fourth digit lengths (2D:4D ratio) is termed as hormonal fingerprint. Second and fourth digit lengths ratio is used as a biological marker for predicting and diagnosis of many metabolic disorders mainly coronary heart disease and autism, whereas, in dentistry, this method is still in blooming stage. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the new biological marker-hormonal fingerprints in the early detection of caries in children.
