About this study

Official title: Safety and Clinical Effectiveness of Intraosseous Anesthesia for Restorative Treatment of Molars in Children With Hemophilia

Effective local anaesthesia is essential for safe and comfortable dental treatment in children with haemophilia. However, conventional nerve block techniques, particularly inferior alveolar nerve block, carry an increased risk of bleeding and haematoma formation because of their administration into deep tissues. Therefore, alternative local anaesthetic techniques that may reduce the need for deep nerve blocks are of particular importance in this patient population.

Intraosseous anaesthesia has been proposed as a potential alternative to conventional nerve block techniques. Although previous clinical studies have demonstrated promising results in healthy children, its safety and clinical effectiveness in children with haemophilia have not yet been established.

This prospective, single-group, open-label interventional clinical study aims to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of intraosseous anaesthesia during restorative treatment of maxillary and mandibular primary and permanent molars in children aged 4-12 years with haemophilia A or B. Intraosseous anaesthesia will be administered using the SleeperOne 5 computer-controlled local anaesthetic delivery system, without additional systemic haemostatic treatment in children who do not require such treatment following preoperative haematological assessment. Routine prophylactic regimens will remain unchanged.

Safety will be assessed through injection-site bleeding and haematoma evaluations at 1, 2, 4 and 10 minutes and monitoring of adverse events up to 24 hours after the procedure. Clinical effectiveness will be evaluated based on anaesthetic success, pain scores and pulse rate measurements.

Read the detailed description
  • Study Design and Participants:

The study will be conducted at the Paediatric Dental Clinic of Ankara Bilkent City Hospital in collaboration with the Department of Paediatric Dentistry, Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University.

Children aged 4-12 years with a confirmed diagnosis of haemophilia A or B will be assessed for eligibility. Participants must have at least one maxillary or mandibular primary or permanent molar requiring restorative treatment under local anaesthesia, with dentine caries without pulpal involvement (CAST score 4 or 5).

Before treatment, demographic and medical information, including haemophilia type and severity, inhibitor status, routine prophylactic regimen and emicizumab use, will be recorded. Oral health status will be assessed using the dmft/DMFT and CAST indices. A paediatric haematologist will confirm that no additional systemic haemostatic treatment is required and that the routine prophylactic regimen remains unchanged.

  • Intraosseous Anaesthesia Procedure:

Intraosseous anaesthesia will be administered using the SleeperOne 5 computer-controlled local anaesthetic delivery system (Dental Hi Tec, France) with 4% articaine containing 1:100,000 epinephrine.

After radiographic assessment of the injection site, superficial gingival anaesthesia will be provided using the low-flow injection mode. Subsequently, the needle will be advanced through the cortical bone into the cancellous bone, and 1 mL of local anaesthetic solution will be administered using the slow injection mode. Pulse rate will be monitored during the procedure.

  • Safety Assessment:

Following anaesthesia, pressure will be applied to the injection site for 30 seconds. Injection-site bleeding and haematoma will be assessed at 1, 2, 4 and 10 minutes after injection. If a haematoma develops, its maximum diameter will be measured using a calliper. Any requirement for additional haemostatic measures, factor replacement or antifibrinolytic treatment will be recorded.

  • Restorative Treatment and Clinical Effectiveness Assessment:

Restorative treatment will be performed according to standard clinical procedures. Anaesthetic success will be defined as completion of the planned restorative treatment without supplementary local anaesthesia due to pain. Any supplementary anaesthesia required will be recorded.

Pain during anaesthesia and restorative treatment will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale immediately after each procedure. Pulse rate will be recorded at baseline, during anaesthesia and at predefined stages of restorative treatment.

  • Postoperative Follow-up:

Parents or legal guardians will be contacted by telephone 24 hours after treatment. Postoperative bleeding, haematoma, jaw stiffness, contact with or presentation to the treatment centre, requirements for haemostatic treatment and other adverse events will be recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Injection-Site Bleeding Following Intraosseous Anaesthesia

    The presence or absence of bleeding at the injection site will be assessed at 1, 2, 4, and 10 minutes after intraosseous anaesthesia. The number and percentage of participants with injection-site bleeding at each time point will be recorded. Any requirement for additional local haemostatic measures will also be documented.

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, and 10 minutes after administration of intraosseous anaesthesia.

  2. Injection-Site Haematoma Occurrence Following Intraosseous Anaesthesia

    The presence or absence of haematoma at the injection site will be assessed at 1, 2, 4, and 10 minutes after intraosseous anaesthesia. The number and percentage of participants with injection-site haematoma at each time point will be recorded.

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, and 10 minutes after administration of intraosseous anaesthesia.

  3. Maximum Diameter of Injection-Site Haematoma Following Intraosseous Anaesthesia

    In participants who develop an injection-site haematoma, the maximum diameter of the haematoma will be measured in millimetres (mm) using a calliper at 1, 2, 4, and 10 minutes after intraosseous anaesthesia. Measurements will be recorded at each time point when a haematoma is present.

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, and 10 minutes after administration of intraosseous anaesthesia.

  4. Participants With Postoperative Adverse Events Within 24 Hours After Intraosseous Anaesthesia

    Postoperative adverse events will be assessed through a telephone interview with parents or legal guardians 24 hours after the procedure. Injection-site bleeding, haematoma, jaw stiffness, and other unexpected events will be recorded. Any contact with or presentation to the treatment centre and any requirement for factor replacement therapy or antifibrinolytic treatment (systemic or topical) due to bleeding or haematoma will also be documented. The number and percentage of participants experiencing at least one postoperative adverse event will be reported.

    Measured: Within 24 hours after the procedure, assessed by telephone follow-up at 24 hours.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Anaesthetic Success During Restorative Treatment

    Anaesthetic success will be defined as completion of the planned restorative treatment without the need for supplementary local anaesthesia due to pain. Cases requiring supplementary local anaesthesia because of pain will be classified as anaesthetic failures. The number and percentage of participants with successful anaesthesia will be reported. The supplementary anaesthetic technique used, if any, will also be recorded.

    Measured: During restorative treatment, assessed immediately after completion of the procedure.

  2. Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scores During Intraosseous Anaesthesia and Restorative Treatment

    Pain will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale at two stages: immediately after intraosseous anaesthesia to evaluate pain experienced during injection, and immediately after restorative treatment to evaluate pain experienced during the restorative procedure. The scale consists of six faces corresponding to scores of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain. Both pain scores will be recorded for each participant and compared.

    Measured: Immediately after intraosseous anaesthesia and immediately after completion of restorative treatment, during the same treatment visit.

  3. Pulse Rate During Intraosseous Anaesthesia and Restorative Treatment

    Pulse rate will be measured using a pulse oximeter and recorded in beats per minute (bpm) at six predefined stages: baseline (before anaesthesia), during intraosseous anaesthesia, during cavity preparation, during matrix placement, during restorative material placement, and during finishing and polishing. Changes in pulse rate across these stages will be evaluated.

    Measured: Before intraosseous anaesthesia (baseline), during intraosseous anaesthesia, during cavity preparation, during matrix placement, during restorative material placement, and during finishing and polishing.
