Summary

This study tested whether using a special laser before applying numbing gel can reduce pain during dental procedures. Twenty adults were split into three groups: laser plus numbing gel, fake laser plus numbing gel, or fake laser plus plain Vaseline. Researchers measured pain levels and heart rate when a tiny needle touched the gums.
