This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of vibratory and cold stimulation before the injection to reduce pain. Purpose of the study: Evaluate the effectiveness of Buzzy® in pain reduction during local anesthesia administration compared to the traditional topical anesthetic gel in pediatric patients.
