ABSTRACT Researchers are always looking for the most effective technique to decrease pain while administering local anesthesia. Aim of the study: This study compared the efficacy of cooling the injection site versus using a topical anesthetic agent to decrease pain associated with local anesthetic injection in children. Patient & Methods: 112 school children were randomly selected from the outpatient clinic of the Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Minia University. The main inclusion criteria included the administration of local anesthesia before dental procedures. Children were randomly divided into two groups of equal size, each with 56 subjects; Group A: using 20% Benzocaine (control) and Group B: using precooling. Pain was evaluated immediately after intra-oral injections using the Mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). Results: The results demonstrated that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups on the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference between cooling and using 20% Benzocaine during injection of local anesthesia. | ||||
