Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of cryotherapy application on the success of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in reducing pain during pulp therapy of the mandibular first permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis (IP) in children age from 7 to 16 years. The null hypothesis (H0) supposed no difference in pain intensity during pulp therapy of primary molars with IP anesthetized with IANB with and without cryotherapy application. The secondary aim was to evaluate the children's behavior before and after pulpectomy in the two groups.
