The following information were collected: most used local anaesthetic in different age groups, time needed to inject a full ampule, frequency of observed local and systemic side effects, application of topical anaesthetic prior to injection, time waited between application and the injection, and perceived effectiveness of topical anaesthetic.

More than 80% of the dentists used articaine in all age groups. 45% of responders took longer than 60\u00a0s to inject a full ampule. Local and systemic side-effects were observed by 82% and 28% of respondents respectively, although the nature and the significance of those were not detailed due to the anonymous nature of the questionnaire. Significantly less local adverse effects were seen for older children (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04) and among dentists with more years of experience (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01).
