Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome assessed will be the report of pain during anesthetic injection, with the anesthetic solution heated to body temperature (37 °C) compared to anesthetic injection with a solution at room temperature (21 °C), both using 2% lidocaine 1: 100,000 with epinephrine, by measuring pain at the time of anesthetic injection. The instrument used to measure pain will be the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale applied by a calibrated evaluator blinded to the anesthetic temperature. The application of the FLACC scale is done by observation, without the need for the child to respond, the patterns of face, legs, activity, crying and comfortability are evaluated, assigning scores from 0 to 3 for each item, with 0 = no pain and 3 = a lot of pain. This instrument will be applied during the infiltrative anesthesia procedure for lower primary molars.
