Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Combination of external cold and vibration (Buzzy®, Pain Care Labs)   The child will be first made familiar to the device by explaining how it works in simple words, then the child will be allowed to play with Buzzy® in order to familiarize with the device. Buzzy® with freezed wings will be placed extra-orally above the area/cheek where local anesthetic is to be delivered. Local anesthetic will be delivered using conventional 2 mL syringe in the area adjacent to the tooth requiring treatment and pain assessment will be done before and after administration of local anesthesia.  
Comparator Agent  Conventional Syringe   After the patient will be seated on the dental chair, Local anesthetic will be delivered using conventional 2 mL syringe in the area adjacent to the tooth requiring treatment and pain assessment will be done before and after administration of local anesthesia.  
Intervention  Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation  After the child will be seated on the dental chair, he/she will be first made familiar to the device by explaining how it works in simple words and then the electrode pads of TENS will be applied extraorally above the area where local anesthetic is to delievered. Local anesthetic will be delivered using conventional 2 mL syringe in the area adjacent to the tooth requiring treatment and pain assessment will be done before and after administration of local anesthesia.

Brief Summary   THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IN- VIVO STUDY WILL BE TO EVALUATE AND COMPARE THE PAIN PERCEPTION DURING ADMINISTRATION OF LOCAL ANESTHESIA USING TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION AND COMBINATION OF EXTERNAL COLD AND VIBRATION IN PEDIATRIC DENTAL PATIENTS.

Ninety healthy, cooperative children of age group 5-10 years will be selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected children will be randomly divided into three groups:

GROUP I: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation group

GROUP II: Combination of external cold and vibration group

GROUP III: Conventional syringe group

 

CLINICAL PROCEDURE

Before the commencement of the treatment, the procedure will be fully explained to the patient and patient’s parent in simple words, with the main criteria being administration of local anesthesia. Informed consent will be taken. The pain assessment will be done using Wong Baker’s faces pain rating scale before the administration of anesthesia.

 

Group I (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Group): After the child will be seated on the dental chair, he/she will be first made familiar to the device by explaining how it works in simple words and then the electrode pads will be applied extraorally above the area where local anesthetic is to delievered. Local anesthetic will be delivered using conventional 2 mL syringe in the area adjacent to the tooth requiring treatment.

Group II (Combination of external cold and vibration Group): Buzzy® (Pain Care Labs) is a plastic gadget with cooled wings in which vibrations are combined with cold therapy. The child will be first made familiar to the device by explaining how it works in simple words, then the child will be allowed to play with Buzzy® in order to familiarize with the device. Buzzy® with freezed wings will be placed extra-orally above the area/cheek where local anesthetic is to be delivered. Local anesthetic will be delivered using conventional 2 mL syringe in the area adjacent to the tooth requiring treatment.

Group III (Conventional Syringe Group): After the patient will be seated on the dental chair, Local anesthetic will be delivered using conventional 2 mL syringe in the area adjacent to the tooth requiring treatment.

 

The pain assessment will done after the administration of local anesthesia using Wong Baker’s faces pain rating scale and Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale. Data will be collected, tabulated and the values obtained will be statistically analyzed and compared.
