Study Overview
Brief Summary
Local anesthesia injections are sometimes painful, resulting in antagonistic cooperation, fear, and anxiety in children. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of vibratory and cold stimulation before the injection to reduce pain. Purpose of the study: Evaluate the effectiveness of Buzzy® in pain reduction during local anesthesia administration compared to the traditional topical anesthetic gel in pediatric patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in pain scores
Time Frame: Baseline and up to 1 hour
Visual Analogue Scale is used and it ranges from 0 to 10. the ''0'' point indicates ''no pain'' and ''10'' point indicates the worst possible pain.
Change in child's behavior
Time Frame: During the procedure
Sound, eye,motor (SEM) scale is used. it assess child's pain perception by observing discomfot levels on SEM during injections. Total scores for SEM range from 0 to 9 based on 0-3 score for each parameter. Score 0: Comfort Score 1: Mild disocomfort Score 2: Moderate discomfort Score 3: Severe discomfort
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
