Aim: Evaluate the effect of camouflaged syringes versus conventional syringes on children’s behavior and anxiety during local anesthesia. Methods: 60 children (ages 3–6 and 6–9) participated in a split-mouth design, with camouflaged syringes used in the second appointment. Pulse rates, FLACC behavior pain scale, and FIS were recorded. Results: In 3–6-year-olds, camouflaged syringes significantly reduced anxiety and improved behavior. Conclusion: Camouflaged syringes positively impact children’s behavior, particularly in younger age groups, by enhancing distraction and reducing anxiety. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
