Thirty-two Subjects received into EMLA cream as topical anesthetic agent. Thirty-two Subjects received Clove Oil gel based as topical anesthetic agent. Thirty-two Subjects received into Lidocaine cream as topical anesthetic agent. All groups received infiltration injections. Pain was evaluated using Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale and SEM scale by observing the child behavior during anesthesia administration. Results: All three types of topical anesthetic agents decreased pain associated with a local anesthetic injection delivered via infiltration. Group A(EMLA)and Group B (Clove oil) had significantly lower pain scores than those in the Lidocaine group. Conclusion: Both Group A and Group B had better results in relief of pain than Group C. | ||
