Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time taken for caries removal

The time taken for the procedures will be measured from the beginning of caries removal procedure till the cavity is confirmed to be free of caries with the help of a stop watch and will be recorded in seconds.

Time frame: Through procedure completion

Efficacy of caries removal

Caries removal will be rated according to the scoring criteria that range between score zero where caries is removed completely to score 5 where caries is present at the base,walls and margins of the cavity

Time frame: Through procedure completion

Child pain perception

The type of response obtained for each observation was given a numerical value (score) like Score 1 (comfort), Score 2 (mild discomfort), Score 3 (moderately painful), and Score 4 (painful)

Time frame: Through procedure completion

Child behavior

Score 1: Definitely positive, Good rapport with the dentist, interested in the dental procedures, laughing and enjoying the situation. Score 2: Positive, Acceptance of treatment; at times cautious, willingness to comply with the dentist, at times with reservation but patient follows the dentist's directions cooperatively. Score 3:Negative, Reluctant to accept treatment; uncooperative, some evidence of negative attitude but not pronounced, i.e. /sullen, withdrawn. Score 4: Definitely negative, Refusal of treatment, crying forcefully, fearful or any other overt evidence of extreme negativism.

Time frame: Through procedure completion
