This study will be carried out in children ages 4 to 8 years old referred to the pediatric dentistry department of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
After the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients will be randomly divided into two groups of treated with laser and without laser in two treatment sessions with an interval of 7 to 10 days (split- mouth).
Patients' sensation of soft tissue will be evaluated and recorded every 15 minutes by palpation.The patient will also be evaluated for soft tissue trauma.
clinical care, the outcome evaluator, researcher, patient and analyzer are blind at this study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
4 - 8- year-old children who are able to understand and respond to soft tissue sensation
Intervention groups
In each person one side will be randomly selected as intervention group and the other side will be acted as the control group (split- mouth).
At the end of treatment, the intervention group will be exposed to diode laser radiation and in the control group, the laser when it's off is symbolically illuminated with the same distance and the same duration.
Main outcome variables
the reversal time for normal sensation of soft tissue and the incidence of soft-tissue trauma in the two intervention and control groups will be evaluated and compared

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
After reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, each patient randomly using simple randomization and individual (open envelope sealed) divided into two groups of treated with laser and without laser in two treatment sessions with an interval of 7 to 10 days (split- mouth).
There are 9 envelopes from each of the four modes (right with laser radiation, right without laser radiation, left with laser radiation, left without laser radiation). We ask a patient to choose an envelope from 36 envelopes and the envelope will be opened by the person responsible for the laser radiation at the same time.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
For blind clinical care and the outcome evaluator and researcher, a separate person is responsible for laser radiation. So these people are blind at all stages of the laser radiation protocol.
For blind the patient, at a meeting without laser treatment, the extinguishing laser appears symbolically with the same distance and the same duration of exposure.
For blind analyzer, first analysis is done and then grouped into groups.
