Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain experienced during the dental procedure, measured using the Wong Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (0 10) to assess the effectiveness of needle-free iontophoresis compared with conventional local infiltration by reducing procedural painTimepoint: Pain score will be assessed during the dental procedure and immediately after completion of the procedure. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Onset time of anesthesia (minutes), duration of anesthesia (minutes), change in heart rate & blood pressure, child behaviour (Frankl scale), need for supplemental anesthesia (Yes/No), & parent/child satisfaction (5-point Likert scale)Timepoint: Onset time recorded from application to onset of anesthesia; duration recorded until return of sensation; physiological parameters recorded before, during & after procedure; child behavior assessed during procedure; need for supplemental anesthesia during the procedure; parent-child satisfaction assessed immediately after the visit | — |
