RECRUITINGscale of pain perception by Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating scale
The primary outcome was evaluated using Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating scale. The child was briefly explained about each face and then asked to select the face that best described their feelings during the administration of local anesthesia. The scale consists of 6 cartoon faces depicting varying facial expressions, ranging from a very happy face (score 0) to a very sad one (score 10).
Time frame: Up to 12 weeks.
scale of pain perception by Sounds, eyes, and motor (SEM) scale.
The primary outcome was evaluated using Sounds, eyes, and motor (SEM) scale. These responses are categorized on a scale ranging from 1-4 categories comfort, mild discomfort, moderately painful, and painful. Two pediatric dentists who are blind to injection devises will conduct the clinical evaluation. A third examiner will be consulted if there is a disagreement between the results of the first two.
Time frame: Up to 12 weeks.
