Summary
Children in their seventh year of life (age range of 6 to 7 years) will be included in the
study. All children included in the study would have to classified according to the Wright
behavior classification as potentially co-operative and rated as per the Frankl behavior
rating scale as positive (++) Group A and negative (-) Group B . All children included must
have had no prior experience of dental anesthesia and must have at least one tooth requiring
restorative procedure on either side of the maxillary arch. Intervention Description
1. Regular Anesthesia All the subjects received local anesthesia injection in maxillary
arch as is commonly practiced in dental clinics. Information obtained before assignment
of intervention or standard care included age, gender, type of injection given alongside
the vibration device will be recorded beforehand. During the delivery of anesthesia for
all the groups, anticipated and actual pain will be recorded to show the impact of
anxiety on the experience of participants. During the entire process, all participants
will use standard needles with confirmed specification to control for any potential
confounders
2. Buzzy® The use of the external cold and a vibrating Device will follow the
manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that normal clinical scenario is created.
