Although the anesthetic effect can lead to a relatively painless dental procedure, the delivery of local anesthetic solution and the needle puncturing the mucosa can be uncomfortable. There is a constant search for ways to avoid the invasive and often painful nature of the injection, and to find a more pleasant means of producing local anesthesia before dental procedures. A computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system has been developed as a possible solution to reduce the pain related to the local anesthetic injection. 9 The current study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of the computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system (CCLADS) for reducing the pain and discomfort experienced by children during local injections and pulpotomy treatment procedures achieved for primary mandibular molars. 10 one hundred children ranging in age between 6 to 8 years were included in this study. All children had at least one primary molar with vital pulp exposure on each lower left and right quadrant. They were divided into two groups: Infiltration Group (Group 1) and Inferior alveolar nerve block Group (Group 2). Each group included 50 children. 11 In each group the local anesthesia was administered using the conventional syringe on one side in the lower deciduous molar area at the first appointment. The opposite side anesthetized using the computerized local anesthetic delivery system (STA system) in the second appointment ER -
