Studies when patients are asked to list the most important factors used when selecting a dentist, the 2 most important are: (1) a dentist who does not hurt and (2) a painless injection.

There is a trend among dentists toward the use of smaller-diameter needles on the assumption that they are less traumatic to the patient than larger-diameter needles. However, studies dating back to 1972 show this assumption to be unwarranted.(4–9 Hamburg) reported that patients are unable to differentiate among 23-, 25-, 27-, and 30-gauge needles. Fuller and colleagues- reported no significant differences in the perception of pain produced by 25-, 27-, and 30-gauge needles during inferior alveolar nerve blocks in adults.

Clinical Applications

• Local anaesthesia
• Minor oral procedures
• Pre-treatment numbing
