Treatment and study plan

Experimental

Behavioral

During the procedure, the chairside assistant can capture video recordings of the child's behavior and facial expressions. These videos can be later reviewed by a trained observer who can evaluate the child's pain experience

Primary outcomes

Post operative pain

Time frame: immediately after completion of the treatment within 60 seconds

Analysis of pain after the treatment pain will be measured by using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) which is an 10-point scale from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured
