Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
• How effective is the indirect application of EC topical spray anesthesia on pain perception during intraoral buccal injection in children in comparsion to BC 20%?
Researchers will compare efficacy of 20% Benzocaine (BC) gel and indirect application of Ethyl Chloride (EC) spray to see if reducing pain perception during local anesthesia infiltration.
