The aim of the current study is to compare a new computerized intra-osseous injection system to the conventional inferior alveolar nerve block in children
Patients will be randomly allocated to one of the experimental groups.: Conventional (Inferior alveolar nerve block) and Computerized intraosseous anesthesia administration using the Quick Sleeper 5TM system (Dental Hi TecTM, Cholet, France). Both techniques will be performed by a single trained operator. Articaine 4% with 1/200000 Adrenaline will be used for both techniques.

RECRUITINGPatient's level of cooperation
The child behavior will be evaluated using the modified Venham scale (scores 0-5) where higher scores indicate uncooperative behavior
Time frame: directly after anesthetic injection while providing the dental treatment
Heart Rate
Heart Rate (physiological measure)
Time frame: before injection, during injection and directly after injection.
Anesthesia success or failure
Completing the needed treatment will be recorded as anesthesia success while failure to complete pulpotomy due to pain will be recorded as anesthesia failure
Time frame: directly after anesthetic injection while providing the dental treatment
