Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of prewarming and precooling of mucosal injection site on maxillary central incisor labial infiltration anesthesia pain
Design
It is a crossover and before-after clinical trial study in which each participant had the roles of the control group, intervention 1 and intervention 2, respectively, in 3 consecutive days using lottery.
Settings and conduct
A clinical trial study was designed in which each participant received 3 injections in 3 consecutive days on the same central maxillary tooth: the first day included a labial infiltration injection of one sided maxillary central tooth (control group), the second day as experimental group 1 received ice pack, and the third day as experimental group 2 received hot pack, each intervention in one minute. Then injection was performed using lidocaine. Comparison of pain between groups in before and after intervention was done.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The participants included candidates dental students. Inclusion criteria: Presence of sound maxillary central and lateral incisors, no allergy to lidocaine, absence of severe periodontal disease, no history of allergy to local anesthetic agents or sulfite, no intake of medications interfering with local anesthetic agent, and absence of fever and systemic diseases. Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness for participation in the study, history of anaphylactic shock, and pregnancy.
Intervention groups
Experimental group 1: Labial infiltration anesthesia for the maxillary central incisor with ice pack in the labial mucousa for 1 minute, and then they received lidocaine anesthesia. Experimental group 2: Labial infiltration anesthesia for the same maxillary central incisor with heat pack in labial mucousa for 1 minute , and then they received lidocaine anesthesia.
Main outcome variables
Anesthetic injection pain of labial infiltration in the central maxilla

Sample size
Target sample size: 20
More than 1 sample in each individual
Number of samples in each individual: 3
Each person should consecutively allocated in 3 group including control groups, ice pack and cold pack, respectively.
Actual sample size reached: 20
More than 1 sample in each individual
Actual sample size in each individual: 3
The statistician used the random assignment by lottery for determining sequence of intervention allocation to the participants. Therefore, each person was consecutively allocated in 3 group including control groups, ice pack and cold pack, respectively. All 3 interventions were performed on the same tooth in each participant.
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In the present study, the participants in the control, intervention 1 and intervention 2 groups were the same, and selected using available sampling method. The statistician used the random assignment by lottery for determining sequence of intervention allocation to the participants. Therefore, the participants were assigned on the first day as the control group, on the second day as experimental group 1 (applying an ice pack), and on the third day as experimental group 2 (warm pack).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Blinding of participants was not possible due to the nature of the study. However, the statistician who analyzed the results was blinded to the group allocation of data.

Other design features
A clinical trial study was designed in which each participant received 3 injections in 3 consecutive days on the same central maxillary tooth. The statistician used the random assignment by lottery for determining sequence of intervention allocation to the participants. Therefore, the participants were assigned on the first day as the control group (receiving labial infiltration injection of unilateral maxillary central tooth), on the second day as experimental group 1 (applying an ice pack), and on the third day as experimental group 2 (warm pack). Comparison of pain between groups (after intervention) and before-after was done.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group1: َAfter placing an ice pack over the injection site in the labial mucosa for 1 minute, Labial infiltration anesthesia of maxillary central incisors with local anesthesia (lidocaine) was done. The ice pack was fabricated by filling the fingers of a Latex glove with water, tying it, cutting the rest of the glove, and placing it in a freezer. All ice packs were checked to ensure 0°C temperature without thawing. All injections were performed by an aspirating dental injection syringe (Novocol Ontario, Canada) with a short 27-gauge needle (Made in France). 0.6 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 Epinephrine was injected into the labial vestibule of maxillary central incisor. The needle was inserted into the tissue by 3-5 mm, aspiration was performed, and the anesthetic agent was released. Upon completion of injection, the participants expressed the level of pain they experienced during needle insertion and release of anesthetic agent using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) , and Wong-Baker Faces pain rating scale (WBFPRS).

Description
Intervention group2: After placing an heat pack over the injection site in the labial mucosa for 1 minute, Labial infiltration anesthesia of maxillary central incisors with local anesthesia (lidocaine) was done. The heat pack was fabricated by filling a Latex glove with water, tying it, and heating it in a water bath at 50°C (Figure 1). The water temperature was measured after removal from the water bath and prior to placement over the mucosa. To obtain optimal results, a minimum temperature rise of 3-4°C of the mucosa was required. All injections were performed by an aspirating dental injection syringe (Novocol Ontario, Canada) with a short 27-gauge needle (Made in France). 0.6 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 Epinephrine was injected into the labial vestibule of maxillary central incisor. The needle was inserted into the tissue by 3-5 mm, aspiration was performed, and the anesthetic agent was released. Upon completion of injection, the participants expressed the level of pain they experienced during needle insertion and release of anesthetic agent using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) , and Wong-Baker Faces pain rating scale (WBFPRS).

Description
Control group: Labial infiltration anesthesia of maxillary central incisors was performed with lidocaine without the intervention of cold or heat packs. All injections were performed by an aspirating dental injection syringe (Novocol Ontario, Canada) with a short 27-gauge needle (Made in France). 0.6 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 Epinephrine was injected into the labial vestibule of maxillary central incisor. The needle was inserted into the tissue by 3-5 mm, aspiration was performed, and the anesthetic agent was released. Upon completion of injection, the participants expressed the level of pain they experienced during needle insertion and release of anesthetic agent using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) , and Wong-Baker Faces pain rating scale (WBFPRS).
