Effectiveness of topical ajwain oil in reducing pain during local anaesthesia administration in paediatric dental patients: A randomized controlled trial
Background
Needle anxiety is one of the most common barriers to providing stress-free dental care in children. In paediatric dentistry, there is a consistent effort to identify painless techniques for administering local anaesthesia. Topical anaesthetics have long been considered a valuable aid in this regard. Recently, the efficacy of herbal topical anaesthetic agents has been compared with that of conventional sprays and gels. The present study is among the first to evaluate the effectiveness of Trachyspermum ammi (Ajwain) oil as a topical agent for pain control during local anaesthesia administration in paediatric dental patients.
Objective
The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy of Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) oil with a conventional 15 % w/w lidocaine topical spray in reducing pain perception during the administration of local anaesthesia in paediatric dental patients.
Methods
A total of 52 children, aged 6–10 years and meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were randomly divided into two equal groups (Group 1: Ajwain oil; Group 2: topical anaesthetic spray) using the chit method. Pain responses were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Wong-Baker Facial Pain Rating Scale (WBFPRS).
Results
Independent t-tests revealed statistically significant differences between Group 1 and Group 2 for both VAS and WBFPRS scores, with p values of 0.001 for each scale, indicating a significant reduction in pain perception in the Ajwain oil group.
Conclusion
Ajwain oil shows potential as an effective alternative to conventional topical anaesthetic sprays for reducing injection pain in paediatric dental patients.

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
