Clinical Trial Summary

This split mouth randomized control trial is designed as to compare the effectiveness of the buccal infiltration technique with the gold standard inferior alveolar nerve block in anesthetizing mandibular second primary molars to undergoing pulpal treatment.

patient will be videotaped during pulpal treatment of their teeth and an accessing pain will be through an objective pain scale (SEM scale), (sound-eye-motor scale).

the patient will be asked to fill in a subjective Wong Baker pain scale for the pain suffered during injecting the local anesthetic agent in both techniques.
