Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pain using visual analogue scale

Time Frame: immediately after injection

visual analogue scale (VAS) was used in which a pain score was recorded for each patient just after local anesthetic adminstration. The VAS score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme unbearable pain)
