Summary
This study tested whether cold application (cryotherapy) works as well as numbing gels or sprays to reduce pain from dental injections in children. 100 kids aged 7 to 10 who needed dental treatment were split into four groups: one got a numbing spray, one got numbing gel, one got cold distilled water, and one got cold numbing spray. The children rated their pain and anxiety, and their heart rate and oxygen levels were measured. The goal was to find which method works best for making dental shots less painful.
