Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Local anesthesia injections are sometimes painful, resulting in antagonistic cooperation, fear, and anxiety in children. 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.
