Description

A vibrating, cooling bee-shaped device may take some sting out of dental injections for children, test Prabhadevi C Maganur and colleagues in a 2026 crossover study. Thirty-eight children aged 6 to 10 needing numbing injections on both sides of the lower jaw received the Buzzy BEE device on one visit and standard care on the other.

Pulse rates after injection dropped significantly with the device at both visits. At the second visit, children's own pain ratings and observer scores for eye and movement reactions also fell. However, effects carried over between visits, muddying the subjective results. The authors recommend bigger studies with longer washout periods before firm conclusions.
