Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The results of the present study will provide the dental professionals the best evidence on efficiency of iontophoresis and infiltration technique for administration of local anaesthesiaTimepoint: outcome will be assessed/estimated at the time of adminstration of anaesthesia at baseline pre and post operatively with one day follow up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The results of the present study will provide the dental professionals a non invasive alternative for administration of local anaesthesia and reducing dental pain and anxietyTimepoint: outcome will be assessed/estimated at the time of adminstration of anaesthesia at baseline pre and post operatively with one day follow up
