Evaluation of the Anti-anaesthetic Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Children's Soft Tissue

A randomized clinical trial will be performed at the Pedodontics Out Paediatric Clinic at the Facility of Dental Medical for girls. Al Azhar University has twenty patients with upper or lower first primary molars on the right and left sides that need to be treated. Using the split-mouth technique, the mouth will be split in two halves. The first half represents the first group, and the second half represents the second group.

Group I (20 teeth): the anaesthesia will be reversed by the photobiomodulation mode of diode laser (low-level laser therapy).

Group II (controlled group): 20 teeth of anesthesia will be withdrawn without intervention.

To avoid bias in the 2nd group, the laser will be applied on this side, but in turned-off mode. The type of anaesthesia that will be evaluated is articine hydrochloride 4% with 1:200 epinephrine (vasoconstrictor).
