Response - NO
Brief Summary   Local anesthesia (LA) is a major mode of pain control in pediatric dental practice, but it comes with the drawback of prolonged duration of action even after the completion of dental treatment procedure. This unwanted prolonged action of LA may cause lip and cheek bites in children. There are very few methods to reverse the LA effect, this present study is to explore the use of Laser photobiostimulation for this purpose.
