Summary

Dental anxiety among children is a significant challenge in pediatric dentistry, often hindering effective dental care. This clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two magic tricks distraction techniques (magic rope and magic thumb sleeves) in reducing dental anxiety among children aged 3-7 years during local anesthesia administration, in comparison to the conventional Tell-Show-Do (TSD) technique. Anxiety will be measured using the Raghavendra, Madhuri, and Sujata Pictorial Scale (RMS-PS) and pulse oximeter for heart rate assessment
