This randomized split-mouth controlled clinical trial will compare pain experienced during anterior maxillary infiltration anesthesia using Transcodent painless needle tips and conventional dental needle tips. Sixty adult patients requiring bilateral maxillary anterior infiltration anesthesia will receive injections with both needle types in a randomized order. Pain perception will be assessed immediately after each injection using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The study aims to determine whether the Transcodent needle tip reduces injection-related pain compared with a conventional needle tip, thereby improving patient comfort during routine dental procedures.
