What this trial is about
This randomized controlled trial is conducted on pediatric dental patients to compare the effectiveness of local anesthesia administered using a dental anesthesia injector device versus the traditional syringe method. The study aims to assess and compare pain and anxiety levels associated with both methods, using both subjective (self-reported) and objective measures. The goal is to identify an alternative technique that minimizes pain and anxiety in pediatric dental patients.
