Materials and Methods: 120 patients were included in the present study. Age group selected for the present study was children aged between 4 to 12 years. Patients were divided in to two groups. 60 patients in each group, group 1 received 2% lignocaine and group 2 received electronic dental anesthesia. Visual analogue and verbal pain scale was used. Results: In Visual Analogue Scale it was found that patients felt minimum pain in group 2 i.e. TENS (23.3%). In VPS 86.6% felt no pain in TENS group.
